What makes a strong advocate? Beyond courtroom presence, the ability to craft compelling written submissions is an essential skill – one that can shape the outcome of a case.
On 24 January 2025, at the Penang Bar’s Young Lawyers and Pupils Soirée, Gopal Sreenevasan joined YA Justice Dato’ Anand Ponnudurai to discuss the art of persuasive written submissions – post-trial, on appeal, and in leave applications.
For young advocates, mastering written advocacy is just as crucial as excelling in oral submissions. A well-structured, precise, and persuasive submission provides clarity for the Bench and strengthens an advocate’s position.
Events like these highlight the importance of mentorship in advocacy, equipping the next generation with the skills and guidance needed to navigate the demands of practice.
