New Pupils

The Inner Temple Library is offering the following legal research training for new Pupils:

A one-hour session that will cover some of the basics of legal research as well as a few more advanced topics. This will take place on Wednesday 6 July at 6pm and will be via Zoom. This session is based around the results of a survey of new practitioners carried out in 2019. This identified the specific research difficulties new barristers have such as ensuring comprehensiveness, relevancy, currency and finding a starting point. This session aims to make all these issues easier to deal with. To book please email tdennis@innertemple.org.uk.
