Today you will see on page 33 of the Hamilton Advertiser that we have been working very closely with the South Lanarkshire Council 'Determined to Succeed' campaign. As Scottish Criminal Law Firm of the Year we wanted to give something back to our community by way of educating young children on 'debating' and the lifelong skills that can be gained from this.
We took a team of 20 enthusiastic and eager pupils to Hamilton Sheriff Court last week. They were introduced to Sheriff Danny Scullion & the formalities associated with the system. It was hoped that by watching a trial - they would gain valuable tips, enjoy what was happening, listen to what was being said and learn to structure, deliver and project their argument with confidence.
Debating is a wonderful sport and people of all ages, abilities and walks of life can take part. It is healthy, enjoyable and feeds the mind. If you would like to learn more about debating please contact the Glasgow University Debating Union and speak to Katy Doherty - she organises and judges debates throughout Scotland and is a very able student. We would like to thank Glasgow University for providing both John & Katy to judge the first round - providing the pupils with constructive feedback & encouragement.

We would also like the thank all the Sheriffs at Court for welcoming such a large group; South Lanarkshire Council especially Helen Salt & the local schools 'Holy Cross, Lesmahagow High, Larkhall Academy, Hamilton Grammar, Calderside Academy & John Ogilvie High' as well as all the teachers involved with this project. We hope to grow this year by year and make it an annual event.
Our first round took place in our office boardroom 105 CADZOW STREET, on November 2nd. It was a huge success - the semi finals will be taking place on Nov 17th and the final will be taking place on December 1st. Please continue to follow our blog and lend your support to the schools.
