Others may not work for you. With advocacy, this is always the way. But the point is to try things out – one day at a time.” Iain Morley QC, author of The Devil’s Advocate, from the Foreword to 365 Daily Advocacy Tips 365 Daily Advocacy Tips is packed with pithy, serious, amusing, and thought-provoking tips for each day of the year, from a refreshingly diverse range of sources.
