Applications are invited for Masterclass in Garda Station Solicitor Training

The Law Society Finuas Skillnet, in collaboration with Dublin City University (DCU), is hosting a masterclass designed to provide defence solicitors with the necessary skill-set to properly advise clients in Garda custody.
This masterclass provides invaluable advice and best practice guidance for Irish solicitors, based on national, European, and international law and experience, with a particular emphasis on developing the skills required for both client consultations and attending Garda interviews.
