CJ Kourakis said the barristers who are appointed senior counsel are considered leaders in the field and he is confident that the state’s newest silks “will perform their duties with the utmost integrity, ability and professionalism”.

“Their appointments are a testament to their hard work, advocacy skills and respect they hold among their peers,” CJ Kourakis said.

“It’s fantastic to see a wide range of expertise among the eight new senior counsel. The legal profession should be proud of their achievements.”
