Who Wants To Be A McKenzie Friend?

There are no 'ask the audience', 'phone a friend', or anxious nail-biting pauses here...

We are often asked, 'how can I represent myself at court?', or, 'how can I become a McKenzie Friend?'

Well, now is your opportunity to do just that. We are running training courses again this year to help anyone who wants to learn the basics. So, get your diary out, book yourself a place, and learn a new skill.

We are excited to announce that our training courses are back again this year. Perhaps you are looking for a change of career, perhaps you want to represent yourself, or assist others in court, or you may simply want to gain a better understanding of the legal system as a whole.

The course is primarily focused towards family law, although those involved in other areas of law should benefit from the information on offer.

The course is run by Steve Young, who has worked as a McKenzie Friend for the past few years and is a member of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx). He will share with you his experiences of  family law, and you will have the opportunity to learn about the role of a McKenzie Friend, running a McKenzie Friend business, family law (in particular, divorce (and finances on divorce) and children matters), case law, legal procedures, etc. The course will be a mix of classroom theory and practical application (including light-hearted role plays).

This is a beginners course, and anyone who already has an idea of the subject matter may find the course a little too basic. Please look out for more courses coming soon.

The full details of the contents of this course will follow via a link through our website in the next couple of weeks. However, if you would like to provisionally book a place on one of our courses then please contact us with your details, and we will forward the full details to you as soon as possible. Please remember that numbers are strictly limited and places will be offered on a first come, first served basis.

The course will run from approx 9.30am to 4.30pm (10.30am to 5.30pm in London), with a break for lunch.

- Saturday, 20th October 2012 - Maidstone, Kent (cost of £95 per person).

- Saturday, 17th November 2012 - London (cost of £110 per person).

We look forward to seeing you there.
