You will understand how purposive and literal interpretive approaches function as cognitive frames that anchor judicial reasoning, and why advocates often lose not because the law favours their opponent but because they have failed to pre-emptively defend against the opposing frame.
You will understand how advocates strategically highlight or conceal statutory ambiguities through linguistic framing, and learn to recognise these techniques in opposing submissions so you can inoculate your own argument against them.
Learn to draft submissions that identify your opponent's likely reframing strategy and neutralise it before it takes hold in the judge's mind.
