Standards

On 22 March 2018, Bar Council approved guidelines for barristers in relation to the use of social media. The Social Media Guidelines for Barristers applies to barristers in both a professional and personal capacity as anything that is published online is public and may be linked back to a barrister’s status as a NSW barrister. The Guidelines outline the relevant features of social media as well as examples of conduct which may be contrary to the Legal Profession Uniform Conduct (Barrister) Rules 2015.
