SQE2 Advocacy one-to-one coaching
Practise your advocacy in a one-to-one coaching session.
Your coaching session will be based on a mock assessment. You can select either criminal or dispute resolution. You will receive the
assessment on the day of your coaching session and we recommend timing your preparation to replicate the time you have during the live assessment.
During the session you will present your application or submissions and receive tutor feedback from an experienced tutor to help you to improve your advocacy skills.
The feedback will cover any gaps in your preparation, the structure of your application or submissions and your presentation style including volume, pace and tone. At the end of the session you will receive a person prescription with guidance on the steps you need to take to improve your skills.
