I also observed conferences, mediations, CCMCs, hearings, and arbitrations. ▪ During my second six, I appeared in court regularly in my own right. Cases included insurance coverage disputes, directions hearings, road traffic accidents, disposal hearings, credit hire claims, MOJ stage 3 hearings, property damage claims, and infant approval hearings. Within weeks of starting on my feet, I was instructed on my first fast track case. ▪ I was also instructed on a number of applications (including an application and directions hearing in the High Court) and a CCMC. ▪ Further, I began to develop my written work practice. Work included a reply and defence to counterclaim in which I was acting for a solicitor accused of professional negligence, an advice and subsequently a particulars of claim in a property damage case, and an advice in a clinical negligence case in which I was acting for the family of a patient who sadly died following a late diagnosis. ▪ I also completed Advocate’s Pupil Pledge which involved undertaking a piece of pro-bono work, namely a written advice in a harassment/trespass/nuisance case.
