How it works in KallosSim
- In practice language — An advocate's overriding duty of candour — never mislead the tribunal.
- What it means — Advocates owe duties to their client and to the court. The duty to the court requires honesty about law and facts, disclosure of adverse authority where required, and refusal to advance submissions without evidential foundation. In KallosSim Legal Advocacy this is formative practice aligned to courtroom ethics themes — not a Bar Standards Board, SRA, or Inn assessment. Invented statutes, invented facts, or rhetorical flair without grounding should not score as strong practice.
- In KallosSim — Cases and formative debriefs may reference this concept when your sector pack and card selections call for it.
Training only. Fictional AI-generated cases only — not legal advice, not live decision support, not a substitute for supervision.
What it is not
- A substitute for reading primary statute or your organisation’s procedures.
- Competence assessment, ASYE sign-off, or Bar / SRA / CIPD accreditation.
- Advice for a live family, employee, client, or court matter.
