SRA Higher Rights of Audience Course Non-NTU Award

Introduction:

Why choose this course?

This is a practical and comprehensive course designed for solicitors who wish to deepen their knowledge and skills in High Court or Crown Court litigation and advocacy to undertake an assessment leading to the award of a Higher Courts (Civil Advocacy) Qualification or a Higher Courts (Criminal Advocacy) Qualification for solicitors. Whilst it is not necessary to take the course to sit the assessments under the current SRA regulations, the sessions provide a useful foundation not just for the assessments, but also on how best to chart a trajectory as a practising solicitor advocate.
