Inhaltsangabe

Thorough and effective preparation is a prerequisite to the success of any barrister's case. Written by experienced practitioners, Case Preparation seeks to equip trainee barristers with the tools and techniques required to effectively identify, analyse and present sound and convincing legal arguments and advice to both clients and the courts in order to win the case. The manual follows the logical progression of a barrister's case, from developing an initial understanding of the relevant facts and legal context, to undertaking detailed analysis of the key issues and evidence, to finally constructing a sound and persuasive argument to present to the court on behalf of your client. This 2008-2009 edition features thoroughly revised sections on legal research which are designed to provide invaluable practical advice on how to conduct legal research using both hard copy and electronic resources. The manual also contains dedicated chapters on reading and interpreting cases and presenting and recording research trails to highlight the process of legal research undertaken. Worked examples are contained throughout and are designed to realistically highlight the process of legal research in action. The manual also introduces students to a systematic C.A.P. (Context, Analyse, Present) approach to analysing a client's case designed to provide an efficient and reliable method for preparing sound answers and convincing arguments to legal problems. Covering both civil and criminal cases, realistic sets of papers are used to demonstrate the C.A.P. approach in practice and additional sets of papers are provided to encourage students to practise developing and refining their case preparation skills. This manual is essential reading for all trainee barristers and is a useful source of reference for junior practitioners wishing to refresh or refine their case preparation skills.
