I am a trained advocacy trainer. For several years I have assisted in the advocacy training on circuit for pupils and new practitioners and will be doing so again in November and December of this year.

In September 2010 I travelled to Tanzania with the Bar Human Rights Committee/International Lawyers Project to teach criminal procedure and advocacy to post-graduates.

I have provided CPD accredited lectures to solicitors on criminal pro-cedure, sentencing and the proceeds of crime.
