Event Details

“How do we retain critical thinking as artificial intelligence enters the mix? Has AI become a game-changer for innovation, or a dangerous shortcut?”

Join our upcoming Battle of the Barristers online workshop, where you’ll step into a live courtroom trial to examine a high-stakes case against a global medical conglomerate accused of rushing their new drug to market. Did the use of AI help streamline research responsibly, or did it allow them to cut corners and put lives at risk?

In this interactive session, participants will take on the roles of prosecution and defence. You’ll review evidence, analyse facts, build your argument, and present your case for consideration. You’ll sharpen your skills in critical thinking, persuasive communication, and collaborative debate.

About the speaker:

Diane Hall, Forensic Linguist & Director at Evolve3 CIC Diane has worked for many years alongside law enforcement professionals in digital forensics and crime scene investigation. With a passion for advocacy and evaluating different points of view, she has designed Evolve3’s Battle of the Barristers workshops to give participants a unique opportunity to test their critical thinking, their reasoning and their communication skills in a mock courtroom scenario.

Critical Thinking in Action: How to take factual evidence and evaluate it from multiple perspectives.
