As the year draws to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and involvement with the Association.

Throughout the year, we have been proud to represent and support criminal lawyers by consulting with the Legal Services Commission, the Law Society, Government, the Courts, and Police on matters affecting criminal practice.

We have also actively lobbied politicians and engaged with the media by attending meetings, conferences, and functions, ensuring that the voice of criminal lawyers is heard. In addition, we have worked to keep members informed through updates on legislative changes, case law developments, and professional development opportunities.

Your membership plays a vital role in enabling us to:

• Influence the Legal Services Commission and Government on issues that matter to you
• Provide regular email alerts with the latest news and developments
• Publish our quarterly newsletter, The Advocate
• Offer training
• Promote members through our website, which receives over 2,000 unique visits each month
• Create valuable networking opportunities through Association events

We are grateful for your ongoing commitment and look forward to continuing our work on your behalf in the year ahead.

On behalf of the Association, we wish you and your families a very happy holiday and a safe, successful, prosperous and peaceful New Year.
