The Kalisher Trust Advocacy Training Course — Summer 2023
We are pleased to announce that the Trust will be organising its coveted criminal advocacy training course in Summer 2023, and applications are now open.
The course runs over six evening sessions in the Royal Courts of Justice and at Chambers in London, and then a Saturday ‘Action Clinic’ at the Old Bailey. The trainers are judges, barristers, and from the world of the performing arts.
This is an intensive course aimed at those who are doing or have done their BPTC, up to and including those undertaking a first six pupillage.
The course teaches advocacy skills, and complementary skills such as physical presence, communication skills, and voice projection. It is training in the form of a complete package of the attributes and advocacy skills needed for those taking their first steps towards a career as a criminal barrister.
