Why you should attend this seminar
This is a practical course for litigation lawyers interested in drafting their own court
documents. The CPR have radically altered the requirements as to drafting all legal
documents and as such there are draconian consequences for a breach of these rules.

This course will guide you through the rules with practical and easy to understand
exercises. Failure to meet certain requirements can have serious consequences, including problems of admissibility and, ultimately, striking out.
