About the course

Since 2014, self-employed barristers have been permitted to apply for a practising certificate extension in order to be able to conduct litigation. As long as the correct authorisation is in place, clients no longer have to act as a self-representing litigant or instruct a solicitor should the case go to court. 
 
The Bar Council Litigation training course will give you the experience you need to successfully apply for the required practising certificate extension and the knowledge you need to take on the new work.
 

What areas does the course cover?

To ensure the course covers BSB requirements, the focus is not on areas of black letter law relating to elements of legal services not hitherto delivered by barristers, but on areas of potential risk surrounding the delivery of the consumer services. During the course you will consider the risk profile of:
 
  • The client
  • The subject matter
  • Other involved/related parties (including LiPs)
  • The procedural aspects and steps required at particular stages of  litigation
  • Their own methods and patterns of working

Working through the anatomy of a case, the day will include opportunities for discussion, debate and suggestions for further learning.
