Criminal Pleadings: How the Courts Work

 

In criminal cases, they say "What a person pleads is what the person is expected to get". Well-drafted pleadings lay the foundation of the judgment. It comes no surprise that successful criminal lawyers hold the key to drafting compelling pleadings. However, the skill does not find its way to young legal professionals so easily, owing to the paucity of time with the senior counsel. Hence, only a few rise to get enough of the skill.

This course gives you a deeper understanding of the art of criminal pleadings. Apart from the conceptual clarity through theory, it focuses on the practical aspect required in the real world. Budding lawyers aspiring to work in criminal law will find it extremely useful to get hands-on on the skill.
