Advanced Programs

The Advocacy Club Boot Camp offers advanced sessions that apply the techniques presented in the Boot Camp. Topics of general interest for new lawyers will be presented by the CCLA (County of Carleton Law Association) under their Wikihow brand, with no need for Advocacy Club membership.

 

Advanced Club sessions will be directed at those who have taken the Boot Camp and need more detail, more techniques, and more practice.

 

Again, participants learn by doing. Sessions may be scheduled on Zoom/MS Teams or in person in Ottawa. For employers/firms, sessions can take place at their offices. Sessions open to Club members will be promoted on the Home page of this website and LinkedIn. Ottawa sessions will be promoted in the CCLA weekly newsletter.

​

The following is a list of topics that have been presented in the past.

  • Discovery techniques - good and bad practices.
