Written Advocacy in Family Law Proceedings: On-demand Short Course
Strong written advocacy is essential to effective family law practice. Whether drafting case outlines, written submissions, or other court documents, clear and persuasive writing gives your client’s case the best chance of success.
This advanced on-demand short course is part of our Digital Certificate in Family Law Advocacy course as a standalone, or go all in with the full digital certificate for a deeper, more comprehensive learning journey.
This particular course is delivered over 10 hours at your own pace. It equips you with the skills to craft precise, compelling legal documents for court and dispute resolution.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Draft clear, concise, and persuasive case outlines for interim hearings.
- Prepare comprehensive case outlines for final hearings that align with family law case management principles.
- Write compelling written submissions for various court events.
- Develop effective position statements and case outlines for dispute resolution.
With special contributions from subject matter expert Ray James, Adjunct Lecturer, College of Law.
Mastering advocacy takes more than just one course. The full Advocacy in Family Law Digital Certificate provides in-depth training in both ethics and oral advocacy, plus an assessment component to earn your Digital Certificate.
