Full Description

Associate Justice Ierodiaconou, who practised as a solicitor for more than 18 years and was founding and managing partner of a City law firm before appointment to the Court, focuses on virtue ethics and the moral role that barristers and solicitors have within the community.

Justice John Forrest discusses the role and responsibility that counsel has to the Court. His Honour discusses two cases that deal with the conduct of counsel in court which illustrates how certain conduct can harm not only one’s case, but also one’s reputation within the judicial system.
