Practical Advocacy in the Sheriff Court

This practical and user-friendly title will be of great benefit to students and practitioners alike in providing guidance on how to conduct effective advocacy in the sheriff courts.

Civil Advocacy in the Sheriff Court sets out broad guidelines for court lawyers to follow when preparing for and then dealing with the normal procedures in standard hearings which lawyers will attend in the typical sheriff court action.

The book also aids the reader's ability to adapt and apply the basic principles to particular and unusual circumstances.
