AI summary of reviews

Practical mock-court cross-examination is the course’s most valued feature, giving attendees a safe, realistic way to practise giving evidence and managing challenging questions. They describe the trainers as highly knowledgeable, approachable and engaging, using real-world examples and clear explanations to illuminate court procedure, defence and prosecution tactics, and witness expectations. The well-paced, interactive sessions build confidence and provide techniques attendees apply in their roles, though some would welcome more time for practice and feedback.

Out of our 6 week DDP course, this input was the most useful so far. Rob was really engaging, and kept everyone interested all day. I haven't had a great deal of experience in court due to the roles I have been in, but Rob made me feel so much more confident about the process.

The training was really good and engaging. I didn't realise how little i knew until i was learning so much on this input. Probably one of the most valuable inputs i have received.

Having been in the police for 12+ years, I have had a fair amount of experience in both Magistrate's and Crown court. The course, however helped me understand the work of a defence solicitor as a whole and it really allowed me to open my eyes up to the techniques/strategies utilised by both prosecution and defence solicitors in court. The trainer, Geraint was extremely knowledgeable and he is clearly an expert within the law field.

I feel slightly more confident being called to court as a witness/OIC. It's been very insightful hearing directly from a defence lawyer on what to expected and what is expected of you when you attend court.
