By the end of the session the trainees were convinced that the Method is an effective advocacytool that will assist in the advancement of advocacy standards in the Attorney General’s Chambers.
  • The Attorney General, the Right Honourable Datin Seri Paduka Hajah Hayati binti Pehin Orang Kaya Shahbandar Dato Seri Paduka Haji Mohd Salleh and the Solicitor General, Madam Naimah binti Mohd Ali both met with the IATC trainers and the trainees and gave their unstinting support to this advocacy programme.
