Updated for the BSB Civil Litigation Updated Syllabus 2025–2026 — aligned with the White Book 2025 and the Jackson ADR Handbook (Fourth Edition, 2025).

These notes are a structured summary aligned to the Bar Training Syllabus, designed to supplement your revision and support self-assessment. They are in no way a replacement for your course materials or required reading. Whilst every care has been taken to ensure that references to specific rules and authorities are correct, this cannot be guaranteed; you should always defer to the syllabus as set by the BSB and to the primary source material — for Civil Litigation, the White Book and the Jackson ADR Handbook.
