Kaplan Altior is delighted to announce the launch in 2009 of its new Trainee Litigation Programme.
The 2 week programme is open to any trainee solicitor and attendance on it will satisfy The Solicitors Regulation Authority’s requirements for training trainee solicitors in contentious work (please enquire for full details of our accreditation).
Building on the foundation of litigation knowledge gained on the LPC and the Advocacy and Communications module of the PSC, the programme will comprise one week of face-to-face litigation tuition, involving realistic case studies and practical learning scenarios, and one working week at Kaplan Legal Advice Centre at Kaplan Law School in central London; acquiring actual litigation experience. Although the Programme will primarily be run on a public basis, we are also happy to discuss ‘in house’ options for the face-to-face tuition element of the course.
Tuition Week The tuition element of the Programme will be based around a commercial case study, and is designed to replicate the kind of experience which a typical trainee from a commercial firm would face in a contentious seat. Delegates will also have the opportunity to undertake court visits to observe experienced practitioners at work.
Advice Centre Week At the Advice Centre, delegates will work under the close supervision of qualified lawyers on a range of contentious matters for a varied client base. We envisage them having the opportunity to take instructions directly from clients, prepare the clients’ cases and undertake advocacy as McKenzie friends on minor traffic offences, council tax prosecutions and other matters at the Magistrates’ Courts.
The Programme will draw on Kaplan Altior’s expertise as a leading provider of advocacy and litigation skills training. It will be led by our experienced team of trainers, all of whom have extensive practice experience.
