We will be in touch
I am currenyly based in NI and I'm thinking of moving to England or Wales.
However, we don't have the civil procedure rules over here. When I tried the Law Society's contact centre, they weren't exactly helpful.
Any suggestions where I can swot up on the CPR?

If its personal injury, just follow everyone else. Issue, always, and out of Birkenhead or Liverpool County Court where the most rotten, pne eyed and pro claimant judges feed insurance claims to the circling sharks.
Ask for what you want, with no reference to the rules, and you'll be amazed what you get there. I guess 20% of all p.i. is issued out of there.
No need for the CPR when the dice are so heavilly stacked in your favour and its conveniently ignored if it doesnt suit the claimant.
Bitter? Never....
I'm not a solicitor, but I have had a fair amount of experience with the Law....
Strangely I was discussing the very topic of intra uk retraining and accreditation with mrsmidlife at the weekend (she's on the SRA education committee). She recommends the [url= http://www.bailii.org/ ]BAILII[/url] website in addition to the sites gingerflash has referred to.
Edit: If PI is your thing, now would be a good time for me to plug her partner's books:
