In this series, we explore other countries’ legal systems to become more acquainted with their procedures.
In this episode, Host Cecilia Lahaye (Bird & Bird LLP) sits down with Greg Williams (Clayton Utz) to uncover the unique aspects of Australia’s legal system. From the distinct roles of solicitors and barristers to the discovery process that aligns more closely with the U.S. than other legal systems, Greg breaks it all down. We also explore how judges are appointed and what it takes to effectively present arguments before them. Join us as we dive into these key differences and explore how Australia’s legal system shapes justice.
