This week, we welcome Brind Zichy-Woinarski KC, one of the longest-serving and most respected members of the Victorian Bar.
From his first mooting competition at university, Brind knew he wanted to be a barrister. As he puts it, he simply wanted to be on his feet, making a fool of himself.
In this episode, we hear about being named "Mr Junior" while he was still a reader at the Bar, becoming one of the founding members of the Criminal Bar Association, and appearing in some of Australia's most significant legal matters, including decades of criminal trials, the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Lindy and Michael Chamberlain's Convictions, and serving amicus curiae in the Nicola Gobbo (Lawyer X) litigation.
It is wonderful to have Brind on the show, and fascinating to hear about his long and distinguished Life in the Law.
