Publisher's Synopsis
The second edition of the Law Society's innovative training kit takes account of the new complex silence provisions, the new codes of practice under PACE, and new police training aimed at countering the legal adviser's skilled techniques. Although essential for those seeking accreditation, the kit will also help experienced solicitors to cope with these new challenges and stay ahead. It emphasises and teaches the skills which an effective legal adviser must have, such as being able to negotiate pre-interview disclosure and knowing what advice to give the suspect and when and how to intervene in the interview. Contents: Becoming Skilled - the central book in the kit. Putting Skills Into Practice - an interactive workbook accompanied by two audio cassettes. A Guide to Accreditation. A Pocket Reference. Police Station Activity Log - the adviser's standardised record sheet.
