Five Essential Ps Of Advocacy
These five Ps of Advocacy are the fundamental qualities that a great lawyer must possess
Preparation for Hearings
It takes a lot of preparation to present the case clearly. An Advocate cannot afford to be confused or nervous when presenting facts.
Planning
It’s not necessary to present all facts and evidence at the first hearing. Good Advocates should know what they will be showing and how often.
The Advocate must decide how much information to conceal in order to protect confidentiality.
Perception
It is the Advocate’s attitude to the case that matters the most. Only then can he prove his client innocent in front of the Law.
Perseverance is Essential
Sometimes cases can be challenging. If cases were easy, people wouldn’t require an Advocate. An Advocate who is competent will fight for your case regardless of the odds and difficulties outside the court.
Persuade
Without great persuasion skills no one has ever been capable of being a great lawyer. An Advocate must believe in his words and convince others.
An Advocate who isn’t confident in his words and stumbles when making statements will not be believed, regardless of whether or not he is being truthful.
A good advocate is one who is always ahead.
