This work can be catergorised as either contentious (for example personal injury litigation, debt collection and family law) or non-contentious (for example, advising on the making of a will or conveyancing). Legal Executives regularly deal with clients, file management, processing litigation, attendance in court, preparing papers to go to barristers, attendance at consultations and settlement meetings. This course was designed by our Program Leader to meet a need in the professional context which she identified during her career as a barrister.
