2024 Out of Office: The Hon Andrew Beech SC
The Hon Andrew Beech SC served as Judge of the Court of Appeal until late 2023. He was appointed to that Court in May 2017 after serving 10 years as a Judge of the General Division of the Supreme Court of Western Australia.
Mr Beech graduated from the University of Western Australia and was admitted in 1985. He joined the Independent Bar in 1994 and was appointed Senior Counsel in 2004.
As a judicial officer, Mr Beech heard a range of civil and criminal matters at first instance and on appeal.
In this session, free from the constraints of judicial office, Mr Beech will share some reflections on his time as a judicial officer.
Mr Beech will provide remarks and will then be joined in conversation with Rachel Joseph (Francis Burt Chambers) for Q&A.
This event is deliberately broad so that attendees can ask Mr Beech questions on topics of interest to them. Attendees are encouraged to submit questions upon registration.
At the conclusion of the event, collegiality will continue over drinks.
Proceeds from all Piddington activities go toward our access to justice projects. These are: the Piddington PLT Fund, which supports the CLCs that host Piddington PLT graduates to complete their hours required for admission; the Piddington Justice Fund for CLCs, to cover costs that they otherwise cannot meet; and, Kaartdijin, our First Nations Legal Education Fund. We also fund the Christine Wheeler Scholarship and John Chaney Award for new law graduates and law students. Annually we are able to make contributions of more than $50,000 to the community through these projects.
