Appointment of senior counsel for 2011 timing of announcement
07/10/2011

The Senior Counsel Protocol states that âbest endeavours will be used to ensure announcement of the new senior counsel are made on or before the first Friday in October'. A press report today states that: "In a surprise moveâ¦the association brought forward its announcements of successful applicants for this year."
The announcement was not âbrought forwardâ. It had been intended to announce the new silks at lunchtime Thursday.� The announcement was, out of courtesy to the Federal Court, deferred until Thursday evening.
