“As the law evolves, every aspect of it is routinely unpicked and analysed in exhaustive depth by academics. Yet the dominant medium through which legal arguments are expressed – oral advocacy – is rarely given formal intellectual attention, in this country at least. Yes, there are a number of British advocacy training programmes, some run in conjunction with leading academic institutions, but they focus on developing presentation skills rather than actually exploring what makes an effective advocate.”

“Any lawyer dealing with civil or criminal cases tends to think that, if there is a time limit for doing something in the case, then if that thing does not get done on time, the court may be lenient if there is good reason for extending time. The problem comes where the court is only given power to hear an appeal by a specific set of rules, and the rules say, for instance: you must appeal within 14 days of the decision. In the statutory context, that may mean precisely what it says. And the court, however sympathetically inclined, cannot do otherwise and allow a late appeal.”
