The way you prepare for and appear in court can completely shift the mood of the judicial officer.
Are you in your early stages of your career? Or perhaps you are in the process of changing practice areas and need a refresher on Court Etiquette?
Come hear from a group of 2025 Piddington Society PLT Graduates who undertook a survey of the judiciary on what they wished the profession would do less of when appearing before them. This is the first of its kind in WA.
Coupled with the findings of their survey, you will also hear from his Honour Justice Sam Vandongen, judge of the Federal Court who will expand on Court Etiquette; the good, the bad and the ugly.
This session is perfect for 0-5 PAE and/or those who don't appear in court very often but need to know correct court etiquette (or those that wish to improve their skills).
The evening will finish with collegiality.
Attendees will be eligible for one CPD point in CA2 - Professional Skills.
The Piddington Society would like to thank Jackson McDonald for partnering with them to bring this CPD event to life.
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.

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.
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).
