Judicial directions to a jury – including the new ‘misconceptions’ directions | CPD 1.5hrs

Our presenters in this recorded webinar Nicolette Levy KC, Sam Wimsett KC and Rob Stevens, and Chair Katie Hogan, have vast experience in this area and insights to offer.

This 1.5 hr recorded webinar provides a refresher on all judicial directions, for criminal trial lawyers at all levels. Practitioners need to understand when and how directions will be deployed, what submissions to make about that, how to mitigate/emphasise the directions when addressing a fact-finder, and how to preserve your client’s position for appeal. The webinar covers the ‘example directions responding to misconceptions about sexual offending’ which are now in use and require additional care and attention. 

Learning outcomes

• An overview of judicial directions and warnings
• How to advocate for/against their use and for/against their significance to a fact-finder
• The new ‘misconceptions’ directions, in theory and practice
• How to preserve your client’s position for appeal
