Course description
In litigation, evidence is everything. The more cogent the evidence, the greater weight a court is likely to give to it.
From as early as the first interview, a family lawyer needs a strategic eye on the evidential burden, striving always for the best possible evidence. This requires not only a continuing critical eye on your own client’s evidential position but - very importantly - on the evidence from all other relevant parties, including experts and intervenors.
Join barrister Nicola Wallace for this in-person seminar which will look at maximising the evidential impact of your client’s Form E, effective use of questionnaires, getting the best from your expert, obtaining evidence from third parties, and much more.
