General Bar Council of South Africa welcomes David Hay KC as guest trainer
Reading time: 1 minute
David Hay KC recently returned to Scotland after attending an advocacy training course run by the General Bar Council of South Africa as one of four international guest trainers alongside a team of experienced senior-juniors, senior counsel and judges of the South African bar and bench.
The course was for ‘Recently Admitted Juniors’ (1-4 years’ call) in the East Cape area and ran for three intensive days covering interim applications, case analysis, examination of witnesses, written and oral submissions, and appeals.
Mr Hay said: “I found this a hugely rewarding experience. As with the Faculty of Advocates’ advocacy training for devils it is almost as demanding being a trainer as it is being a participant!
“I was struck by the warm welcome I was given by the training team, by the dedication and enthusiasm of the participating juniors (for many of whom English is a second language), and the skill and common approach to training shared amongst a team representing the jursidictions of Scotland, England, Zimbabwe and South Africa.”
