Paperless Hearings Workshop (CPD 6.5 hrs)
Our highly successful Paperless Hearings webinar and workshop in 2017 highlighted the need for more help for barristers at all levels as they transition to presenting using electronic bundles.
We are therefore offering a one day workshop in Wellington to provide hands-on experience, led by Phillip Cornegé and Josh McBride.
In the morning, attendees will work on their computers with electronic bundles, and learn techniques for marking them up and quickly navigating through the documents. This will be an interactive session with individual attention given to all those present.
Please note that you will need to bring a laptop that has been loaded with editing PDF software - preferably Adobe Acrobat DC or an equivalent. If you have an iPad or Tablet, you might also want to bring that with you.
In the afternoon, those participants who wish to, will give a five minute presentation using the casebook before our judge and will then be given feedback on their presentation. Participants will then have the opportunity to repeat the presentation, incorporating the comments and advice received.
