Advocacy: A Practical Guide

Advocacy: A Practical Guide is an invaluable reference for those who wish to learn essential advocacy skills as well as those seeking to make their advocacy more effective.  With a focus on civil advocacy and arbitration, the book provides guidance on a range of matters from undertaking case analysis and overcoming nerves to handling witnesses and making trial speeches. It does not claim to be prescriptive and say this is the only way. The book is intended to be easy to read and absorb and is designed to give the reader confidence and support. For this second edition, the text has been fully updated by Chris Taylor, and a new chapter has been included on online advocacy.
