Gaining experience of the litigation process is an essential part of a legal training contract. Our two week Trainee Litigation Programme is designed to give you a high level of experience, equivalent to that gained during a contentious seat. This course offers an ideal alternative for trainees who may not intend to practise in litigation.
This programme is available as in-house training for firms, with a limited number of public places available for interested individuals and can be delivered throughout the year to meet your requirements.
Why choose our Trainee Litigation Programme?
- Designed and delivered by experienced practitioners
- Builds on key topics covered on the LPC and the SQE
- Ideal alternative to a contentious seat for trainees whose primary interest is in non-contentious areas
- Guaranteed to deliver both substantive and procedural experience
- Perfect blend of practical face-to-face tuition and real-life experience through a Legal Advice Centre placement
Course Details
The course is made up of three parts; approximately 7 hours of online self-guided learning, one day of online teaching incorporating an ADR/mediation session and an advocacy session and two days of pro bono work to develop practical experience of what you’ve already learned.
Training is delivered by highly experienced trainers and is highly interactive, using realistic exercises and scenarios to accurately mirror practice to take trainees far beyond the level of the LPC and the SQE.
