Former Constitutional Court and Appeal Court Judge

Your contribution to the success of Wallenberg (South Africa) left an indelible impression on all who attended.

For me this was not only because of your personal dynamism and the obvious success of your interventions, but also and more particularly because I have long maintained that the oral presentation of a case is an important yet generally underrated aspect of advocacy.

Of course, these techniques can be taught, as you have shown. Voice and performance coaching should in my view form an integral part of all advocacy training, especially in jurisdictions such as my own where English is the language of the courts but not of the majority of the Bar.  

In me, you have an enthusiastic, if not fanatical, supporter.

Past Chairman UK Advocacy Training Council
Past President International Advocacy Training Council

As Chairman of the UK Advocacy Training and President of the International Advocacy Training Council, I have had the pleasure of working with Lucy on 11 advocacy training courses in 4 different jurisdictions over the past 9 years.

She makes an inspirational and invaluable contribution to every course in which she participates.  She is not only technically quite outstanding as a performance coach but has a deep understanding of the philosophy which underlines the purpose and ethics of advocacy and has inexhaustible inter-personal skills and is hugely popular with all members of all the training faculties which she has joined and all the advocates, both young and old, with whom she has worked. She has transformed, immeasurably, the quality of the training that we have been giving.
