International Judicial
Advice and Training
Throughout my career, I have sought to promote the interests of justice in other countries, as well as in England and Wales.
In recent years, I have
- designing and delivering “training the trainer” courses for judges and magistrates on training skills, judicial competencies and ethics;
- devising a programme and course materials (lectures, small group case studies, model answers) for a series of courses on Criminal Sentencing delivered to judicial officers, prosecutors and defence lawyers;
- planning, facilitating and participating in three annual High Level Judicial Symposia;
- assisting with the design and implementation of a mentoring programme for judges and magistrates; and
- advising on Asset Recovery Court Procedure (2019 to 2024).
