Call for Additional Volunteers, BPC Advocacy Coaches

The NSW Bar Association’s Professional Development Department is seeking experienced members of the Bar to assist with advocacy coaching during the upcoming Bar Practice Courses (May and October 2012). Volunteers should be prepared to assist with seven evening sessions and one whole Saturday each course. The sessions in question are designed to help readers in developing their advocacy skills.  The advocacy coaches’ ability to demonstrate and provide feedback, as well as their experience and insights, is a critical component in this process.

To ensure consistency in approach and assessment, volunteers are provided with a one day course conducted by the Australian Bar Association Advocacy Training Council.  There will also be opportunities for further ongoing training through the Australian Advocacy Institute (AAI).

The call for further volunteers comes as a result of increasing numbers in the course and a desire to maintain small groups and provide sufficient support for current coaches, as well as readers.

Should you have any questions at all, or to register your interest, please contact Chris D’Aeth (9229 1712 cdaeth@nswbar.asn.au) or Anna Hurtig (9229 1722 or ahurtig@nswbar.asn.au).
