2. To fully appreciate how this all works, you will be introduced to the practical skills that all practising layers must develop i.e. practical legal research, interviewing, advocacy, writing, drafting and negotiation. By applying these skills to aspects of legal practice, you will develop a solid foundation for undertaking your professional vocational study (be it the Legal Practice Course or the Bar Professional Training Course) and achieve your career in legal practice.
