The session is an introduction to witness-handling. We will explore the aims of examination-in-chief and cross examination; the ground rules of questioning witnesses; and how to prepare for witness handling.

The session will follow up from the earlier Advocacy Training.

Until July 2013, William was in full-time practice as a Barrister at 7 Harrington Street Chambers, Liverpool.

Having joined Northumbria Law School in September 2013, William teaches on the BPTC (advocacy; opinion writing; conferencing and professional ethics). He also teaches the Law of Tort to undergraduate students on the MLaw degree.
