Silks Ceremonies
This week has really been all about our new silks. On Monday evening, I hosted a small reception for them in the Richard Griffith Library to which I invited the Bar Council and members of the Chief Justice’s Preliminary Evaluation Committee. Then, yesterday, it was my honour to present our new Senior Counsel at Ceremonial Sittings held by the Supreme Court, the Federal Court, and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (Divisions 1 and 2). It was a splendid morning for the silks, their families and friends and for our Bar. Chief Justices Ferguson, Mortimer and Alstergren each warmly welcomed the silks and provided some guidance for them in their new role.
