About the webinar

ETHICS AND PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY

CPD Points: 1.5

Coming to the Bar is a significant step in the career of any lawyer. For junior counsel intending to practise in criminal law, the ethical and moral obligations are significant. Factors like direct briefs, invoicing, barristers’ rules, duty to the court and professional conduct are all matters you are required to manage on your own. This is often a shift for those that have practised under the guidance of a principal or in government agencies. This presentation will examine that transition to the NSW Bar, considering the viewpoints and perspectives of junior counsel. It will animate some of the best-practice features of maintaining an ethical and professional practice, and ways that that model of practice can be leveraged to ensure success. This presentation will assist legal practitioners considering a career at the NSW Bar, solicitors who brief barristers and play a role in the discharge of their ethical obligations, and junior barristers recently called to the Bar.

Presenter: Ms Talitha Hennessy
