Magistrate Christian Miocevich has taken to the bench, bringing with him an extensive background in criminal law and jury trial work.
In 1994 Mr Miocevich spent 15 years at Western Australia’s Aboriginal Legal Service (ALS) where he worked as a solicitor and then counsel, gaining considerable trial experience in the District and Supreme Courts and advising lawyers around the state while performing trial and jury work.
Then, in 2009, he established a sole practice and, in 2012, a partnership called C&G Miocevich before being appointed a magistrate of the Magistrates Court of Western Australia in September 2018.
“Magistrate Miocevich’s 30 years’ experience working as a lawyer and a Magistrate in regional and metropolitan WA will be invaluable in his role as a judge of the District Court,” said Attorney-General John Quigley.
“Over the course of his career he has demonstrated an extensive commitment to ensuring the disadvantaged have access to legal advice and services.
“As a Magistrate, he has managed a large caseload of criminal and civil matters and is highly regarded in the legal profession.
“I congratulate Magistrate Miocevich and wish him well.”
