Effective Advocacy Starts Here
Enhance your advocacy journey through expert-led training, comprehensive workshops, and exclusive networking opportunities with esteemed legal professionals in the United Kingdom.
Acquire the requisite skills, establish valuable connections, and receive personalised guidance to make a significant impact. Whether you are refining your strategic approach, expanding your influence, or seeking individualised mentorship, we provide the essential resources necessary to facilitate meaningful change in your advocacy efforts.
World-class advocacy training rooted in the prestigious English legal system
AAI’s workshop-led approach to training provides intimate, bespoke instruction in the style and etiquette of the English Bar, tapping into a legal tradition that extends back to the 12th century.
No case is the same as the next. An advocate needs to be versatile, precise and, above all else, persuasive. The art of advocacy lies not in following a set of rules, but rather the effective application of fundamental principles and skills.
Yet without coaching, there is a ceiling to the quality of your advocacy. Through our workshops, you’ll get the one-to-one practical skills training and demonstration you can’t find in books or the classroom.
Our instructors have decades of experience as both practitioners and advocacy trainers, and can help you take the next step in your legal career. Hone your oral and written advocacy skills, learn how to perform in court, and refine your analytical abilities with AAI’s tailored training workshops.
Expertise
With a focus on UK and comparative law, we offer a unique lawyer-to-lawyer approach, providing expert-led courses that span crucial areas.
Participants benefit from hands-on learning with leading practitioners, personalised programme design, and extensive networking opportunities within the UK’s legal community, all aimed at equipping legal professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in their careers.
What is Legal Advocacy?
As a legal advocate, you are writer, director and performer. You shape the case itself by deciding which evidence to present and what arguments to make, consistent with your client’s instruction and your ethical obligations.
You deliver this argument to the judge and jury, aiming to persuade the court that your client’s version of events is the most compelling and that the legal consequences follow in their favour. The court then decides the case based on the strength of the statements put forward by you and your peers on the other side.
Legal advocacy is therefore founded upon a core set of written and oral skills – skills that require clarity, precision and concision. And it’s your mastery of these practices that will determine your success at the Bar.
All of these skills can be sharpened through AAI’s tailored training sessions and practical workshops. Our coaches will help you better analyse the facts and structure your arguments to allow for the most potent presentation of your case on the page and in court.
Crucially, advocacy isn’t just about the legal facts of the case. It is about establishing trust at every stage of the process, from initial meetings with clients to your performance in court. Our one-to-one consultations and networking events will give you the opportunity to gain experience in effective communication in and out of the courtroom.
