This week in law has been swamped with disciplinary hearings, major court judgments and critical opinions from the nation’s most respected legal practitioners. Here is your weekly round-up of the biggest stories for Australia’s legal profession.
Here are the most-read stories for the first week of March:

A Sydney woman who sued Coles has complained about the almost $500,000 in fees she owes to two compensation firms.
A Sydney solicitor is facing disciplinary and ACCC proceedings in connection with an allegedly misleading and “bulletproof” scheme to sell a program that claimed to protect assets from creditors.
