The Bar Standards Board (BSB) intend to introduce a compulsory Negotiation Skills course and assessment which must be satisfactorily completed in the non-practising (usually ‘first six’) period of pupillage.
The Inns of Court College of Advocacy (ICCA) intends to develop materials to assist pupils in their preparation for this assessment.
More information will follow on this page in due course. In the meantime, the BSB intend to provide Negotiation Skills course updates here.
