ABSTRACT

Regardless of where you see the law taking you, public speaking expertise is valued highly. Verbal reasoning is a key transferable skill, which can be used in numerous situations; you could be giving a presentation in class, putting yourself across well at an interview, networking or in a formal setting where you might be taking part in a debate or moot competition.

As a legal professional, your voice will be all-important to you. Like in a reality TV music show, it’s your voice that will make you stand out and get you noticed, rather than your appearance. Your voice is the tool of your trade: it is important to learn how to project your voice and articulate yourself.
