Video 1 - Theory of the Case 

PJSP is pleased to share the first video in our six-part Litigation Skills video series.

In The Theory of the Case, expert barrister Christopher Stevenson KC explains why it is important for counsel to have a logical theory of the case to present in court. The Theory of the case is the story you tell about:

• what happened,
• why it happened, and
• why your theory should prevail.

We suggest you watch the video in groups or individually, test your knowledge with our quick quiz hosted at Survey Monkey, and download a copy of the NZ Law Association’s written guide to The Theory of the Case to keep for future reference.
