Oral advocacy

Oral advocacy is the skill of effectively presenting and arguing a legal case in court before a judge or a panel of judges. It involves clearly and persuasively explaining legal points, highlighting relevant facts, and responding to questions. The goal is to convince the court why one side’s interpretation of the law and facts should prevail. Oral advocacy is a vital component of the legal process, requiring preparation, clarity, and confidence to effectively communicate complex legal issues and influence judicial decisions.
