Time: Each day: 9.00am - 4.30pm
Location: Manchester
CPD Points: 30 (6 CPD per day)

> Prison law team

Garden Court North will be holding the next 5 day prison law course in 2013.

Course outline: The 5-day course is aimed at practitioners both new to this area of work and those with experience. We are aware that some practitioners are highly skilled in one area of prison law but may have no experience in others, and therefore no prior knowledge will be presumed.

The course is practical and informative and concentrates on key areas of prison law practice but also provides a general knowledge of the whole subject. It aims to give delegates a solid and comprehensive foundation for best practice when representing prisoners and to provide the training through which practitioners can build or develop a thriving prison law practice.

Fee: £750.00 (+ VAT) per delegate for the 5 day course including lunch and refreshments. Discounts available for group bookings, please ask for details.

Places are limited to 16 delegates per day.

CPD Accreditation: Garden Court North Chambers are accredited by the Solicitors Regulation Authority as authorised CPD providers of Prison Law
