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.
  • Custom advocacy skills workshops and programs 'in-house' for law firms and government departments.
  • Specially tailored workshops for organisations having a right of appearance before any tribunal or hearing.

A non-commercial, not-for-profit institute, the AAI believes all people are entitled to quality legal representation by skilled and ethical legal advocates.

The AAI General Advocacy Skills Workshop -

Improve your courtroom skills with this
foundation for persuasive advocacy.


This AAI Advocacy Skills workshop gives you the opportunity to practise courtroom techniques and strategies with the assistance of a faculty of experienced instructors who 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 persuasive 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 course is suitable for legal practitioners from all jurisdictions ... criminal, civil and family lawyers.

 

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 confidence in the courtroom.

 

Participants attend all sessions with the Wednesday (5pm to 6.30pm) and Thursday (5pm to 6pm) held ONLINE using the AAI's ZOOM platform.  The Saturday workshop will be LIVE IN-PERSON, using the AAI's unique access to court facilities.

 

All AAI workshops qualify for CPD/CLE points.
