New South Wales Government adopts equitable briefing policy

Thu Sep 25 2008

The New South Wales Government has formally adopted�the Equitable Briefing Policy for Female Barristers and Advocates. This policy, formulated by the Law Council of Australia, shall be "applied by both clients and legal practitioners (including in-house counsel) throughout NSW Government agencies".

The object of the policy is to "maximise choices for legal practitioners and their clients, promote the full use of the Independent Bar, and optimise opportunities for practice development of all counsel or solicitor advocates".�

"The adoption of equitable briefing practices", the document says,�"can play an important role in the progression of women in the law, the judiciary and the wider community".
