Day in the High Court

Extract from UK 'Day in Court

"An ever-increasing number of actions are being settled prior to a Court Hearing. This means an ever-reducing opportunity for Expert Witnesses to appear in Court and especially the High Court - Lord Woolf's reforms are intended to reduce these still more. Although The Academy runs a number of different intensive training courses preparing people for court there is only one Day in Court. We have real Judges and practising Counsel ready, willing and able to hear you and cross examine you.

The opportunity to experience this day should not be missed. Being present is not like being on a course or attendance at a normal court. You will hear the Judge's and Counsels' analysis of what happened (or should have happened!), witness a variety of techniques and be able to participate in the Judges' debriefing "lessons to be learned". Additionally you will lunch in the courts with the Judges and Counsel. " 

Delegates
Those who do not wish to perform personally can still benefit from attending and seeing different approaches both by the witness and counsel. They can also participate in the debriefing at the end of each case. All will be able to share some of the 'trade secrets' of the Barristers who will be participating and possibly learn more about a judge's perspective. Please note: In Hong Kong this course takes place in the High Court, Queensway
