Aims and intended learning outcomes of The Criminal
LAWYER CPD Programme:
The
Criminal Lawyer’s CPD Programme provides a high standard of
Its aim is to provide principles of criminal
law and issues therein.
Having read each Issue of The Criminal LAWYER, the
practitioner should have an updated knowledge and appreciation of developments
and issues within this area of law.
It also aims to fortify knowledge of current criminal
law and its relation to other areas of law.
The
Criminal Lawyer contains criminal law articles displaying critical analyses of
the criminal law as well as analyses of caselaw, updates on legislation and
current criminal law issues.
This
encourages and illustrates analysis and evaluation of legal provisions and
illustrates to the reader the adoption of a practical approach to problem
solving in the profession.
At
the very least, the diligent reader will relate to the principles of criminal
law, identify key provisions contained in the legislation, and, having been
presented with key provisions in relation to criminal law, will in turn, learn
how to present these in a highly professional manner.
Book
reviews in The Criminal Lawyer are very carefully chosen to encourage the
reader of The Criminal Lawyer to read more extensively in his/her area of law.
Such
subscriber will also learn how to write a legal argument properly and how to
present their legal arguments in legal publications.
This
is top-class training given to the subscribing criminal lawyer on a regular
basis and in a format that is easy to transport and readable anywhere.
Taking
part in this CPD programme with The Criminal Lawyer journal constitutes
intensive personal study.
The
full series must be read, all question sheets completed and a pass mark of 60%
obtained throughout, in order to fulfill the solicitor’s annual portion of CPD
hours for distance learning.
