Senior counsel in Victoria

22/01/2015

Eighteen senior counsel appointed in Victoria in November last year will be invited to apply for appointment as QCs. However, Attorney-General Martin Pakula has said that before any further QCs are appointed, the bar is to undertake a "a comprehensive review of the reintroduction of queen’s counsel, including broad-ranging consultation with its members, the legal profession as a whole, and the wider community", similar to the one undertaken by the New South Wales Bar.
