This really is becoming a farcical situation.

How can the AG simply 'reject' a parliamentary decision to find Ms Dowling gave false evidence?

How can Ms Wass continue in any cases brought by the DPP, again, ever, in any capacity, given how this has all panned out.

Has anything even remotely similar to this happened, ever?

I’ve recently started my own small legal practice focusing on conveyancing and wills & estates here in Sydney. So far I’ve been fortunate to pick up matters through online enquiries and word‑of‑mouth referrals, and the work has been steady. I’m now looking to grow the practice further — particularly keen to connect with people who’ve had success building a client base from scratch, or who can share insights on marketing, community engagement, or referral networks that actually work in Australia. Any ideas or experiences would be appreciated.

I was empaneled on a jury recently and didn't go to the sentencing the next day. Kicking myself for it now. We were told that the sentence would be posted on the courts library website, but I haven't been able to find it yet. How long should it take to be posted? What would be the best way to find it, in case the defendant's name isn't used?

This was in Queensland, if that helps. I'm pretty sure this follows the sub rules, but if it doesn't, please let me know. Thanks! Not sure if the flair is right, sorry. First time posting here.

This would actually make sense if they paired it with a tafe certificate in road maintenance. Give them skills to gain employment upon release.

I had not seen this type of advertising by Harvey in the wild (pun intended) before. This type of exposure presumably will have system-wide impacts on several things, including the choices of kids considering a future in the law.

“Nicholson himself said in a statement: “I’m not ashamed of my decision to leave the law when I did. If I stayed, I’d still be fat, bald, and depressed. Thankfully, I’m just bald.””

Frankly, I resemble—sorry, I mean resent that comment.
