Meet the Silks is one of the landmark events on the Piddington calendar.

Each year, the Hon Justice Gail Archer (Supreme Court of Western Australia) introduces the most recent Senior Counsel appointees, sharing insights about them as individuals and practitioners. The new silks then share an ethical dilemma or war story they faced and how they navigated it.

The silks speaking are:

Michael Rynne SC (John Toohey Chambers)

Steven Wong SC (Quayside Chambers)

Wayne Zappia SC (Shoreline Chambers)

Adam Sharpe SC (Francis Burt Chambers)

Gemma Beggs SC (Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions)

Heather Millar SC (Shoreline Chambers)

Coby Taggart SC (Francis Burt Chambers)

Beau Sertorio SC (Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions)

Alex Mossop SC (Shoreline Chambers)

Piddington Society wishes to thank Francis Burt Chambers for their genoristy in hosting this event.

Attendees will be eligible for 1.5 CPD points in CA3 (Ethics and Professional Responsibility).

Proceeds from this event will go toward supporting funding Piddington's access to justice projects. These are: the Piddington PLT Fund, which supports the community legal centres (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. Thanks to your attendance, engagement and support, we are able to make annual contributions of more than $50,000 to the community through these projects. 

The session will run from 5.00 pm to 6.00 pm, followed by collegiality.

Note:

Practitioner ID numbers are issued by the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia. Information from the Board is available here. We require these to issue CPD certificates. If you do not want a CPD certificate, please put '00000' in the box on the booking form.

This program is delivered by The Piddington Society, an accredited CPD Provider approved by the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia. CPD schemes in other Australian jurisdictions do not accredit or pre-approve providers or courses. As a result, practitioners outside Western Australia must self-assess this activity against the CPD rules in their home jurisdiction and determine whether it meets their professional development obligations. Certificates of completion are issued to assist with record-keeping, but the final decision as to compliance rests with the individual practitioner and their local regulator. Participants should also note that some jurisdictions impose caps on certain delivery modes (e.g. South Australia limits 5 units per CPD year for web-based/recorded programs).
