Find your voice: An introduction to Advocacy

The Chambers of Twenty Essex are hosting a webinar on 16th December at 5pm, for students and prospective barristers. The lineup features three leading commercial barristers with different levels of experience: Luke Pearce KC, Andy Feld and Maria Kennedy. They note how advocacy skills are more important than ever for a young barrister – and particularly true in the Commercial Court, where the guidelines recommend that oral advocacy is shared around within a counsel team, including among junior counsel.

Together, the panel will cover:

  • Becoming an effective advocate in moots, in court and in arbitration
  • The advocacy element of pupillage applications and interviews
  • Improving presentation skills
  • Questions from the audience
