Overview:
Writing Legal Advice, more loosely called Legal Opinion, will enable you to build on problem-solving skills and take them one step further, applying them in a way that will be useful to you in your job and to your Organisation. The importance of legal advice/ writing whilst studying will have equipped you with the knowledge and skill to answer problem-type questions. This is an important skill, because it trains you on how to abstract the relevant facts from the irrelevant, identify the legal issues, state the Law relevant to the issues, apply the Law to the facts and then conclude on the issues. This will be so, irrespective of where you practice. The most important feature of a Legal Advice/Opinion which distinguishes it from other types of legal writing is that is must be presented in a specific format. This Workshop seeks to empower Delegates with uniformity in style and to address Procedural and various other aspects regarding the Formulation of Legal Opinion Reports within the Public & Private Sectors.
Legal Opinion Writing 2024 will address the following:
