This is a guide to practice and procedure in courts and tribunals. It is aimed at the young practitioner: pupil barristers, trainee solicitors, or lawyers unversed in advocacy and procedure. Chapter by chapter, the book provides "how to do it" guides to applications in most areas of the law, with brief discussions of the relevant law, rules of procedure and practical tips. The applications covered are those which young practitioners are likely to encounter in their first years of practice. In addition, each chapter attempts to anticipate likely pitfalls, with suggested solutions. There are also general chapters dealing with the court system and with techniques of advocacy. This is not a legal textbook, and provides no substitute for legal research. It is intended, essentially, as a starting point for the young lawyer faced with an unfamiliar task.
