Students will be assessed on a range of practical exercises completed in a Moot Court environment over the full duration of the subject. Marks will be allocated to each appearance with the bulk allocated to a final submission presentation on the final weekend.

The subject covers two discrete but related topics: the principles and practice of courtroom advocacy and an in-depth examination of the legislation and authorities governing the sentencing process. Practical consideration of the bail application process are also covered. Students are introduced to the different styles and approaches that can be applied to best present a client&#39;s case in both civil and criminal appearances across a range of courts and will have the opportunity to practise the skills taught in a practical setting.
