CPD series begins with legal solutions for the 21st century
Axiom Advocates, one of the devolved stables within the Faculty of Advocates, is introducing a lecture series to enhance continual professional development (CPD) among solicitors and advocates.
The series, the "Third Thursday Lectures", will launch on 17 January 2008 with Richard Keen QC, one of the founding advocates of Axiom and the new Dean of Faculty. Mr Keen’s lecture will focus on legal solutions for the 21st century.
Presenting the lecture series, David Johnston, Chairman of Axiom Advocates said: "We have been working hard to deliver our commitment to focus more on serving client needs aligned to the way the legal profession is developing as a whole.
“We now want to take that one stage further by creating a lecture series that will provide a topical insight into emerging legal practice, enabling us to share experience and knowledge with colleagues in the legal profession and those who engage advocates."
Subsequent lectures include:
21 February 2008: "The Scotland Act Post Somerville, Dickson v HMA and Ruddy", with Gerry Moynihan QC
20 March 2008: "What Role for Mediation After the Civil Justice Review?" with Alistair Clark QC, and "Recent Mediation Case Law From the Courts", with Anna Poole.
