<p>This module is designed to introduce you to a range of practical legal skills which are used in the day to day practice of a solicitor and enables you to learn how to develop your skills in practical legal research by providing a structured approach to researching unfamiliar legal topics using both traditional and modern resources. You will focus on a solicitor’s need to communicate appropriately, both with their clients and on behalf of their clients and best practice when using interviews and letters to deal with client matters. For many solicitors, communication on behalf of their clients will involve formal advocacy in court settings and the last element of this module will help support you to develop your skills in advocacy.</p>
