NSW Bar Association president Gabrielle Bashir SC has revealed the newest silks in the state.
Earlier today (Tuesday, 4 October), Ms Bashir announced the names of 20 barristers who have been appointed as senior counsel (SC).
The designation of certain barristers as senior counsel by the NSW Bar president, the association said in a statement, is in accordance with published principles and intended to serve the public interest.
“The appointment of senior counsel provides a public identification of barristers whose standing and competence justify an expectation, on the part of those who may need their services, as well as on the part of the judiciary, that they will provide outstanding service as advocates and advisers, to the good of the administration of justice,” the statement noted.
Every July, barristers wishing to be appointed as SCs apply to the state association for consideration, with those applications then going to a selection committee, which takes into account the views of a large number of barristers, solicitors and members of the state and federal judiciary.
