National Judicial Framework Proposal
The Judicial Issues Working Group the Working Group has developed the Law Council's response to the recent SCAG inquiry into a proposed national judicial framework. In general, the Working Group supported the concept of a national judicial framework and the associated possibilities for judicial development, and for relevant and helpful cross-fertilization of ideas and approaches from one jurisdiction to another. However, it was stated that a cautious approach must be adopted in the mechanisms that are introduced to achieve this and that they must involve a recognition of the importance of specialist courts and the inescapable reality of differing local conditions and needs.
