InBrief

Members (not just those holding a practising certificate) who wish to be considered for appointment to a committee should complete the application form online or in hard copy showing the committees for which they wish to be considered. Existing members of committees who wish to continue on a particular committee should also complete the form online or in hard copy. Expressions of interest will close at 5.00pm today, Monday, 14 December 2009.

The Bar Association is very fortunate that we have many more volunteers for committees than can possibly be accommodated. The president has therefore asked that members restrict their choice of committees to no more than two.

In confirming committee membership, the president ensures that all parts of the bar – geographically, practice areas and seniority – are represented on each committee.

Please note that until new committees are established and promulgated, the existing committees continue unchanged. The existing appointments to various working parties and representatives for the Bar Association continue unless and until the president determines otherwise.

Acknowledgement of your expression of interest will be e-mailed to you within 24 hours. If you do not receive an acknowledgement please contact cbrown@nswbar.asn.au or telephone Corinne Brown on 9229 1754.

Thank you.

**P A Selth Executive Director
