Maurice Blackburn Townsville senior associate Rene Flores has been appointed as the new president of the Townsville District Law Association.
“Critical backlogs are currently being experienced in local courts due to delays in the appointment of judges and magistrates across the state, and Townville is no exception,” Mr Flores said.
“It is absolutely vital that justice is delivered in a timely and efficient manner at all levels of the judicial system, so I will be adding my voice to calls for the proper resourcing of the state’s judicial system during my term as president.”
Mr Flores graduated from James Cook University. According to a statement, he has more than 10 years’ legal experience, having worked for the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions Townsville and several local law firms.
In 2014, Mr Flores joined Maurice Blackburn Lawyers as a senior associate, where he now leads the firm’s Townsville office.
