Appointment of senior counsel for 2011 – timing of announcement

Fri Oct 07 2011

The Senior Counsel Protocol states that ‘best endeavours will be used to ensure announcement of the new senior counsel are made on or before the first Friday in October'. A press report today states that: "In a surprise move…the association brought forward its announcements of successful applicants for this year."

The announcement was not ‘brought forward’. It had been intended to announce the new silks at lunchtime Thursday.� The announcement was, out of courtesy to the Federal Court, deferred until Thursday evening.

P.A. Selth Executive Director
