Please note that this program is only open to participants of the December 2 plenary session of Compelling Closing Arguments.

Participants of the Compelling Closing Arguments plenary session are also eligible to join us for our hands-on skills workshop on December 3, with in person or online options available. The workshop is your chance to practise and refine your skills in preparing and presenting a closing argument in a supportive environment. You will be asked to prepare and present a closing argument based on a mock case file. You will then get practical, individualized feedback on your performance from our trained instructors. You will also learn from your peers as you work through the interactive exercises in small groups.

Free Workshops for Junior Members
Junior members (under 5 years of call) who joined The Advocates' Society in 2024 or who join in 2025 and who register for the plenary session of an Essential Advocacy Skills Workshop program in the 2025 calendar year can attend that program’s skills workshop for free.

This is a pilot initiative designed to engage Junior members in their first year of membership in the Society. The pilot does not apply to Student members or Junior members who joined The Advocates' Society prior to January 2024.
