Show Notes

Host Harry McDonald, FLPA's Vice-President, sits down with three family lawyers who've recently come to the Bar - Charlotte Yellowlees, Georgia Taylor and Isaac Douglas - to talk through what the move really takes: surviving the six-week Queensland Bar Practice Course, budgeting for the costs, landing the right chambers, and choosing mentors who'll back you. Honest, practical, and occasionally very funny - essential listening for anyone considering the leap to the Bar.
