The New Zealand Bar Association | Ngā Ahorangi Motuhake o te Ture and the Australian Bar Association Advocacy Training Council (ATC) are combining in 2017 to present an Appellate Advocacy Intensive workshop. We are delighted to have received the support of the Supreme Court of New Zealand, the Court of Appeal of New Zealand the High Court of New Zealand in offering this initiative. The faculty will represent the profession at its senior levels. All faculty members are experienced trainers and will also include members from the New Zealand Bar.

This course will span a three day period and be taught in Brisbane. It will suit members who have more than seven years PQE and who have significant litigation experience.

Course Description

The workshop is based on a realistic brief that barristers prepare and then perform in real court settings before appellate judges. Participants are required to fully prepare the matter and file submissions in advance. At least three days preparation is required.

Performances are recorded in-court and then reviewed privately with senior members of the faculty. The judges and Senior Counsel provide suggestions for improvement in a supportive, professional environment.

The focus is to enhance the ability of each barrister to craft comprehensive yet concise written submissions,construct and present persuasive arguments and engage effectively with the bench.

This provides the perfect opportunity to get some genuine feedback and ideas on being a better appellate advocate. The workshop is ideal for barristers who wish to appear regularly in appellate courts. The cross-section of views from experienced judges and Senior Counsel is invaluable.

This is a three day, non-residential workshop.  Click here for more information about the course.
