Family Law and Procedure - England and Wales Reviews

I feel so much better equipped in my role as an expert witness in family proceedings as a result of doing this course. The trainer was exceptionally knowledgeable and the case study discussions were very helpful for developing my knowledge and understanding of the nuances of the guidelines. However, at times (particularly on the second day) I found the pace of navigation required to find my way around the the different procedure documents and practice directions very overwhelming. It was very clear that the trainer knew the materials like the back of her hand and so could navigate and refer to them at speed. However, being new to the materials I found this very difficult. I would have really benefitted from some tangible guidance as to how to practically navigate my way around the materials and if I were to do it again, I would definitely have made sure that I had thoroughly read all of the materials prior to the course. To my mind (and maybe this is my cognitive profile) navigation only felt possible in some cases if you knew already what you were looking for and the right question to ask.
