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 practise 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.

The AAI is an independent, not-for-profit, non-commercial training body dedicated to the improvement of advocacy skills for all lawyers.
Advocacy is a specialised activity for lawyers that requires developed disciplines and skills.
The Australian Advocacy Institute was established as an initiative of the Law Council of Australia in response to a growing demand by the Australian legal profession for advocacy training.
The AAI conducts Advocacy Skills Training across Australia and internationally, and is recognised as a world leader in advocacy training.
The AAI training method is based on the combination of concepts and practical skills.
Its application is comparable to ‘coaching’ rather than lecturing and is the accepted advocacy training method worldwide.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live.
We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
