In addition to our extensive selection of criminal advocacy CPD and criminal law courses, Datalaw also offer a selection of prison law training courses which are perfect for practitioners with varying levels of experience.

The prison law courses within this section have been delivered by solicitor-advocate and recognised prison law expert Dean Kingham; described by Legal 500 (2017) as a ‘tenacious lawyer’ who is ‘very dedicated to his clients and always looking to push the envelope’, Dean is ideally placed to deliver our prison law training as the head of the prison, crime and public law department at Swain Solicitors.

For those with several years PQE, the prison law course Parole Hearing Advocacy will assist experienced practitioners hone their advocacy skills and will suggest new tactics which viewers can utilise to help them secure a successful parole outcome for their clients.

In contrast, Procedural Fairness Since Osborn, Booth and Reilly, is fitting for those who are new to prison law, or who are thinking of moving into this area of practice. Described by one viewer as “very instructive in terms of pilot schemes instituted by the Parole Board… and the policy of effecting as many releases as possible” it is an excellent illustration of Dean’s teaching style; categorised by the use of “relevant personal examples” Dean’s approach to prison law training is “very practical and hands on” which makes him a favourite with Datalaw viewers.

Accessible using any internet connected device for a period of 12-months, our prison law training is ideal for those who require a quick prison law CPD fix.
