      <title>Continuing Legal Education – August Monthly CPD Events (10 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Parramatta &amp;amp; District Regional Law Society has committed to providing its members with at least 10 CPD points per year, in both your areas of interest and the compulsory fields.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In case you missed it, we will separately be sending out a reminder to those who have not yet registered for our 22 July 2026 CLE presented by &lt;strong&gt;Tim Grellman, Partner of Carroll &amp;amp; O'Dea Lawyers&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;AI and Legal Ethics: Challenges and Opportunities.&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, we are pleased to announce our August speaker below!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 28px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(242, 101, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#F26522"&gt;10 August 2026 4:30pm – 5:30 pm - 1 CPD point&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 28px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="line-height: 26px; font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#004B80"&gt;How to win friends and influence people: effective cross examination techniques and strategies&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Presented by Soumaya Trad, Barrister, Lachlan Macquarie Chambers&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Soumaya Trad was called to the bar in 2024. Prior to coming to the bar, Soumaya was admitted as a solicitor in 2014, practising at Legal Aid and private practice in Western Sydney. At the bar, Soumaya accepts briefs in family law, care and protection, child representative and criminal law matters.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;In this &lt;strong&gt;interactive&lt;/strong&gt; CLE, Soumaya outlined tips, tricks and pitfalls for effective cross examination skills that can be applied across varied practice areas. Soumaya's presentation aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the objects and foundations of effective cross examination, techniques for effective preparation and execution, common pitfalls and tips for tackling the unexpected and difficult witnesses.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Both sessions are not to be missed!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
