Practise courtroom advocacy
before you stand up

AI-powered simulation for solicitors and barristers. Opening submissions, examination, procedural objections, and closing arguments — grounded in CPR, CrimPR, and FPR. Training only — not legal advice.

Barrister · Family Court · Opening submissions

Care proceedings — threshold disputed. The judge interrupts: "Counsel, I have read the bundle. What is your client's positive case on change?"

You
"My Lord, the local authority's case rests on historic neglect, not current risk. Since the mother engaged with the parenting programme in March, the children's school attendance has been continuous and the health visitor reports no concerns."

Strong structure: fact → change → current position. Next: tie to the statutory welfare checklist and invite the court to the LA's burden on threshold.

Separate product. Legal Advocacy is a standalone KallosSim service. It does not share scenario decks with children's services, HR, or witness intermediary — though it may integrate with those workflows in future releases.

Curriculum hint

Practise toward your module — without mistaking this for the mark scheme

Sessions can hint toward your school’s published modules and advocacy frameworks (best-effort research, shown in-app as “Aligned to: …”). This is formative rehearsal between taught sessions — not a reading list, not BSB/SRA/Inn assessment, and not course credit.

England & Wales is live for Legal Advocacy. United States is on hold pending jurisdiction prompt QA. Scotland and Northern Ireland are not available yet.

What you'll practise

Courtroom stages.
Not client meetings.

Process stages mirror real advocacy: opening, examination in chief, cross-examination, procedural objections, and closing submissions.

Civil · Opening

Opening submissions

Set out facts, issues, and your client's case under judicial time pressure. The judge may interrupt to narrow the dispute.

CPR Part 39 Structure

Criminal · Cross

Cross-examination

Test a witness's account without impermissible coaching. Opposing counsel objects; the judge rules on form and fairness.

CrimPR ECHR Art. 6

Family · Objection

Procedural objection

Challenge inadmissible evidence or procedural irregularity at the right moment — with authority, not theatre.

FPR PD12A

Any · Closing

Closing submissions

Synthesise evidence and law into a persuasive close. Respond to the judge's concerns and opposing counsel's strongest points.

Rhetoric Authority
