Advocacy

These advocacy notes provide a clear structure for delivering persuasive submissions in the SQE2 assessment. The guide sets out a step-by-step framework for organising oral arguments, helping you present submissions confidently, logically and within the strict time limits of the exam.

Alongside the general advocacy structure, the notes include the key legal tests commonly assessed in SQE2, particularly in criminal litigation and dispute resolution scenarios. Each test is broken down into concise points that can be used directly as the substantive content of your advocacy submissions, allowing you to focus on applying the law effectively during the exercise.
