Advocacy is the art of persuasion in court.
The Australian Advocacy Institute Advocacy Skills Workshops provide lawyers at all levels with an opportunity
to improve essential advocacy skills, including effective preparation, performance and communication skills,
in a supportive learning environment.
Participation in an AAI workshop will give you an opportunity to work with and learn from experienced
and skilled advocates who have been trained to help you improve your advocacy.
The AAI offers 3 workshop options:
- General, Advanced and Specialist advocacy skills workshops open to all members of the legal profession.
- In-house advocacy skills workshops and programs for law firms and government bodies.
- Specially tailored workshops for organisations having a right of appearance before any tribunal or hearing.

AAI Advocacy Skills Workshops: Open for registration
A Foundation for Effective Advocacy
This exciting program gives you the opportunity to practise courtroom techniques and strategies with the assistance of a faculty of experienced instructors who will offer constructive
and practical suggestions to improve your advocacy.
Designed for practitioners at all levels across all jurisdictions, this workshop involves instruction, performance and review of the skills, disciplines and techniques involved in good advocacy.
Using a contested hearing as a template, you will practice and receive skills advice in case analysis, preparation, performance preparation, effective examination, cross-examination and persuasive argument.
This supportive, non-competitive simulation, together with instructor demonstrations, suggested readings and personal attention, helps you develop and improve your own personal
and effective style of advocacy.
At an AAI workshop you receive the best possible advocacy skills training and techniques. We provide superior teaching methods, expert faculty and innovative instructive materials to enhance your competency and professionalism and give you a competitive edge in the courtroom.

Advocacy in the Family Court
The Australian Advocacy Institute’s workshops are designed
to enable advocates to develop their skills in the pursuit of professional excellence.
This Family Law workshop will focus on:
- Examination in Chief - The Family Court requires evidence in chief to be on affidavit, mainly drawn by solicitors. It is essential that anyone drafting such a document have a thorough grasp of leading evidence in chief.
- Cross Examination - To cross examine effectively you must know what final arguments will be made to the Court. Learning to cross examine helps to hone these skills and enables better preparation of briefs to Counsel and preparation generally.
- Legal Argument - Presenting a well prepared, structured, persuasive argument in the Family Court setting.
- Ex-parte Applications - Presenting successful urgent
ex-parte applications which are common in this jurisdiction.
Sydney 26-27 October 2018 - REGISTER HERE
