Reforming the District Court 

In New South Wales, the volume of cases in the Local and District Courts is leading to growing delays and strain on the courts. As a solicitor, this is your opportunity to take part in a discussion that defines the impact and considers what reforms are available to ensure the courts continue to deliver just outcomes to the NSW community.

Facilitator Annmarie Lumsden (Director, Criminal Law, Legal Aid NSW) leads respected panellists in discussion: the Hon Reginald Blanch AM QC (retired Chief Judge of the District Court and Judge of the Supreme Court of NSW), Assistant Police Commissioner Joe Cassar APM (NSW Police Force), Ms Kara Shead SC (Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions), Dr Donald Weatherburn PSM FASSA (Director, the NSW Bureau of Statistics and Crime Research and Professor of the University of New South Wales).
