Date & time: 24 February 2027, 1.30pm to 3.45pm AEDT
A strong case can depend on how clearly the evidence is presented. Are your affidavits and witness statements doing their job?
Preparing evidence for court involves more than recording what a witness says. The way evidence is structured, drafted and supported by documents can affect its clarity, credibility and compliance with court requirements.
In this practical two-hour live webinar, build your confidence in preparing affidavits and witness statements, from working effectively with witnesses to drafting clear, purposeful evidence.
Explore the correct use of jurats, exhibits, annexures and execution requirements, and develop practical drafting skills you can apply directly to your legal work.
Facilitated by: Wai Kaey Soon, Barrister, Frederick Jordan Chambers
At the end of this live webinar, you will earn 2 CPD points.
