In the resit of the accuracy exam, write a court report from a dictated, ‘prosecution opening’ of a Crown court trial. Some key details – e.g. of charge(s) and defendant(s) – will be supplied to you in writing before the exam begins, for inclusion in the report. The ‘opening’ will be read at 60 wpm. The report should be written as if for publication in a local newspaper that day. Remember to use your court reporting checklist and ensure your copy contains all the basic details.
