Theatrical Advocacy: A report of Advocacy Training at UNE

Michael E Eburn

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

In 1995 the Department of Law introduced a 'Witness Examination Workshop' as part of the unit 'Civil Procedure and Evidence'. The Workshop was a joint project between the Department of Law and the Department of Theatre Studies and involved students from the Department of Theatre Studies acting the role of witnesses, which students from the Department of Law had to examine and cross-examine. In 2000, the School of Law and the School of English, Communication and Theatre will again co-operate to offer a one-semester course 'Trial Advocacy', that has taken the idea for the workshop to a full semester unit. This paper will outline the development of this joint endeavour in order to reflect on the lessons learned, the benefits for our students and what future steps can be taken to improve Advocacy Training at UNE.
