Hot Topics in Criminal EvidenceSpeaker: Matthew Hickling

Despite being one of the most rapidly developing areas of law, criminal evidence can be the most overlooked. Practitioners spending a lot of time either at court or in the police station can very quickly become out of date.

The law struggles to keep up with modern advances in the use of evidence including electronic data and the use of social media.

This course will ensure that you are fully up-to-date with all of the important recent developments including relevant legislation and judgments.

Excellent insight into matters that even experienced solicitors miss

Interviewing Witnesses: How to Unlock Their MemoriesSpeaker: Dave Barney

The SRA Competence Statement makes it clear that solicitors must be capable of “obtaining relevant information through effective use of questioning and active listening”. This is sometimes easier said than done when the events in question took place several years before.

This course teaches you how to use techniques based on cognitive interviewing that really work in getting information out of witnesses.

It uses a series of memory retrieval techniques to increase the amount of information that can be obtained from a witness or client.

Cognitive interviewing is successfully used in some of the largest UK law firms and will increase the completeness and accuracy of what your witnesses can remember, helping them to remember clearly things that happened many months, or even many years ago. It will also enable you to:

• Assess litigation risks and make decisions about a case• Prepare cases and take statements based on the

full facts• Obtain up to 40% more relevant information• Obtain uncontaminated evidence from witnesses• Obtain more facts and details from witnesses first

time, reducing the need for costly re-interviews
