Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

On this side of the bench: Crossing over
Q: What made you decide to apply for your first judicial role?
Winston explains that his early exposure to a supportive chamber culture and the existence of pathways like the assistant recorder role and judicial shadowing influenced his decision, alongside a belief in contributing to a diverse judiciary and the value of gaining firsthand experience before committing.
Written Advocacy: The Silent Persuader
Q: If you could give one piece of advice to practitioners about written advocacy, what would that be?
Obey the rules and present your best points with a clear explanation of why they should win, while also acknowledging the difficulties to keep the argument credible and persuasive.
Written Advocacy: The Silent Persuader
Q: What makes you feel, within the first two pages of written submissions, that you're in safe hands?
A clear, interesting introduction; immediate identification of the issues; a concise statement of the case on each issue; and a well-organised structure with headings that guide the judge through the arguments.
Unplanned – Navigating the unexpected at the Bar
Q: Sam, what is the nugget advice you would give to barristers going through an unexpected event?
Start with engaging your clerks or your chambers, as they are best placed to help you rebuild your practice, and use the Barr Council guidance and checklists to navigate career breaks and the practicals of resuming practice.
Volunteering with Advocate to Support Moving and Returning in Practice
Q: How does the process work for taking on a case and what support is available?
Cases are posted after senior review, volunteers receive papers, have 48 hours to decide, and can rely on mentoring, Collaborate, Bar in the Community, and translation or Pro Bono Expert Support to help them throughout the process.
