25.01.2022 Heavy work loads and increasing demands take their toll on everybody. It is time that we recognise the effects this has on the profession and the judiciary.

23.01.2022 Chief Judge Peter Kidd, together with the Honourable Judges Gaynor and Wilmoth spoke to A Current Affair to dispel the misconceptions about sentencing and judges.

13.01.2022 This is the tabloid headline however there are serious issues to consider. This headline nose thumbing does not do the issue justice nor inform its readers.

13.01.2022 The number of prisoners awaiting trial or sentencing in Victoria has almost doubled since 2014. Taxpayers are footing $800 million per year for male prisoners alone.

08.01.2022 Another excellent result by solicitor Louis Dean. The case is also a reminder of the importance of seeking legal advice prior to interview by police, as our clients failure to do this would likely have resulted in additional charges being issued.
