Bill Number - 52
Introduced in the House of Assembly
Bill TitleLegal Practitioners (Senior and Queen's Counsel) AmendmentBill Number66
Introduced in theHouse of Assemblyon17/06/2020
Precis

This Act amends the Legal Practitioners Act 1981 by setting out the process by which a legal practitioner who has been elevated to the honour of Senior Counsel, via a process under the supervision of the Supreme Court, can elect to seek a Queen’s Counsel appointment. The change reflects a clear position of a majority of the legal profession in South Australia and aligns opportunities for senior South Australian legal practitioners with other jurisdictions which have already made this change.
