Bar Exam Update
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Nadia Deltondo and Nadia Stojanova as the Bar’s new Chief Examiners. Ms. Deltondo and Ms. Stojanova are both members of our Bar and former members of the Standing Exam Review Panel with considerable experience in teaching and assessment. I am confident that, in consultation with the new Exam Committee, the Chief Examiners will set an Exam in October this year that will fulfill all the recommendations of the 5-Year Panel Review Report.
On behalf of the Victorian Bar, I sincerely thank Dr Jason Harkess for his commendable service as Chief Examiner over the past 11 years.
On Monday, I met with Jenny Firkin KC and bar office staff to discuss creating a panel to advise the Exam Committee with respect to applications for alternative exam sitting arrangements. I am grateful to Ms. Firkin for her advice about the policy and application documents that we are drafting.
Yoorrook Justice Commission
On 6 March 2024, the Victorian Bar received a Request for Information from the Yoorrook Justice Commission. Yoorrook is Australia’s first formal truth-telling commission, tasked with inquiring into and reporting on historical and ongoing systemic injustices against First Peoples in Victoria since colonisation.
The RFI requested information about current and future initiatives of the Bar aimed at increasing First Nations representation and retention within the profession and information about the Bar’s response to the Veronica Nelson Inquest. This information relates to Yoorrook's Health and Education sector inquiries.
At our request, Yoorrook subsequently issued a Notice to Produce, to which the Victorian Bar responded this week. A copy of our response can be seen here. The response is the product of much work by Serena Armstrong, Co-Chair of the Indigenous Justice Committee (IJC), Richard Dalton KC, Chair of the Cultural Capability Working Group, and Julie Buxton, Cal Viney, and Shivani Pillai of the IJC, together with our in-house legal team. It is an impressive response, and I thank all those involved.
Strategic Plan Working Group
The Strategic Plan Working Group and I met with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and other members of her Court on Tuesday to discuss the work of the Victorian Bar and its members. Over the past few weeks, the Working Group has been engaged in similar discussions with our stakeholders, associations, and committees, and we are grateful to those consulted for their time. The Bar Council looks forward to receiving the recommendations of the Working Group next month.

Melbourne Law School is pleased to present the following free public law lectures in May 2024:
Melbourne University Law Review Annual Lecture, Hosted by MLS
‘Punishment and Responsibility: An Assessment of Moral Culpability in Sentencing’
Presented by The Hon. Justice Karin Emerton, President of the Court of Appeal
Sentencing is based on a conception of people as rational, autonomous actors. However, day to day, judges are tasked with sentencing offenders whose capacity to exercise appropriate judgment and make calm and rational choices is compromised - even though they are considered criminally responsible. The notion of a rational and responsible agent as the touchstone for assessing culpability often leads to a heavy reliance on expert psychological evidence. However, this arguably reductive analysis of culpability through the lens of psychologism is not necessarily well adapted to dealing with the reality of structural disadvantage in the criminal justice system.
The lecture will examine two ways the courts have sought to manage these difficulties consistently with the principle of individualised justice: principles for the mitigation of moral culpability (R v Verdins) and the principles articulated in Bugmy v The Queen.
Date & time: Thursday, 2 May 2024 from 6:00pm – 7:00pm. Welcome refreshments and networking from 5:00pm in the ground foyer.
Location: Theatre G08, Ground floor - Melbourne Law School.

Jim Carlton Integrity Lecture 2024
‘The Urgency of Ethical Challenges Facing the World’
Presented by Professor Raimond Gaita
Introduction by The Hon. Barry Jones AC:
Raimond Gaita (1946- ) is an outstanding, but controversial, moral philosopher who agonises over the state of the world. Born in Germany, son of Romulus Gaita, a Romanian metal worker, and Christine Dorr, a German teacher, his family migrated to Australia in 1950, and he grew up in central Victoria. Educated in Ballarat and Melbourne, he held chairs in moral philosophy at the Australian Catholic University and King’s College, London. His memoir Romulus, My Father (1998) won many awards and became an internationally admired film in 2007. Justice and Hope (2023) is an important collection of his writings.
An English philosopher wrote of him:
“Those who are already familiar with Raimond Gaita’s work will not easily forget the seriousness with which he confronts his readers with stark examples of evil, and then with luminous examples of love and goodness – a confrontation that both elicits and challenges the real responses that give expression to our moral thinking, and a seriousness that exposes the shallowness of much moral theory and its remoteness from lived experience”
Prof. Gaita: The most important moral challenges facing humanity, I believe, are the climate crisis, war in which nuclear weapons may be used, and the increasing fragility of democratic forms of government. I wrote the following in the preface to Justice and Hope:
“We have now far more reason to fear for the world than we had when I expressed that fear almost twenty years ago in an essay “Justice and Hope”. That is why I have dedicated the book that carries the name of that essay to my grandchildren, which, implicitly, is to all young people”
Within the book, I wrote:
“More and more, I fear, knowledge of affliction and cruelty will test their understanding of what it means to share a common humanity with all the peoples of the earth, and to a degree almost too awful to imagine, their faith that the world is a good world despite the suffering and the evil in it. What can sustain that faith? I believe there are few questions more urgently in need of sober realism in their formulation and in the answers offered to them”
Those questions continue to haunt me. The epigraph of Justice and Hope (2023) is a quote from Albert Camus: “I chose justice to remain faithful to the world.”
In this lecture, I will try to explain why, of the many forms of justice, this is the deepest.
Date & time: Wednesday, 8 May 2024 from 6:30pm – 7:30pm.

The Melbourne Catholic Lawyers’ Association invites members of the Bar to a breakfast at the Essoign on Tuesday, 14 May 2024.
Deacon George Piech Meat will be speaking on Navigating Justice: The Struggles of South Sudanese youth in the Victorian Justice System.
Since the 1980s, 30,000 South Sudanese people have migrated to Australia, with the largest number settling in Melbourne. Unfortunately, South Sudanese are now over represented in the criminal justice system, and tend to have worse outcomes. The shame of young offenders, and the distress of family and friends, is often exacerbated by hostile media coverage.
Deacon George Piech Meat is himself a South Sudanese refugee and has been working with the community for many years, especially in prison ministry.
All are welcome to join us for this breakfast. For more information and to book, click here.
