The Advocacy Club

Last week, when I was ordering a book for the Law Library, called "The Art of the Interview: How Lawyers Talk with Clients" by John Hollander, I visited the authors' website, and found this: The Advocacy Club. 
It turns out the author keeps a very thorough blog to help law students improve their skills in writing, interviewing, cross-examining, mediating, and much much more. 
John has been practicing since the mid 1970s, and founded the Advocacy Club in 2009. 
If you ever find yourself in Ottawa, you might want to take a look at the courses he runs too.

Congratulations!

To everyone who attended the Student Professional Development event last Monday, congratulations! You took part in very sucessful event (if I may say so myself!).I was very impressed with the number of attendees.
We hope you got something positive out of it.
In a couple of weeks I'll send out a survey, so you can tell us what you really thought, and can be instrumental in shaping another event, should the signs point to go!
If you're bursting with feedback, please come and see me.....cheers
