Drafting 6. Opinion Writing 7. Professional Ethics 8. Legal Research From our law school, you will develop the knowledge and skills to practice in a broad range of briefs. These are focused on the foundation areas of pupillage and early practice. From the outset, you will be taught to think and behave like a barrister. You will be instructed in cases conducted as in practice, incorporating conferences, advocacy, drafting, and opinion writing. You will also learn your professional, ethical obligations. This invaluable, practical experience will equip you to be immediately effective in pupillage. You will benefit from generous contact hours throughout the course including dedicated exam-focused teaching sessions. During which the teaching team will share their expertise to support you in preparing for the Bar Standards Board (BSB) centralized assessments.
