Course outline: This 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 comprenehsive foundation for best practice when representing prisoners and to provide the training through which practitioners can build or develop a thriving prison law practice.
