Applications to Join Gordon & Jackson's List.

Application to join the List is made in writing to the List Chairperson. The usual practice is that an applicant to the list will be interviewed by members of the List Committee and this will normally take place within one week of receipt of the application. It is the view of the List Committee that applicants should be interviewed promptly and advised of the success or otherwise of their application within one week of interview. The List Committee recognizes the importance of proceeding in a timely fashion in such matters.

Interview of Reader/Applicants; involves the List Chairperson or Deputy, the clerks and List committee members on rotation with a gender mix.

The interview is an informal process with applicants encouraged to discuss their reasons for wishing to come to the Bar, their proposed areas of practice, level of support they expect to receive from their supporters and their expectations of the List and the Clerks.

Applicants are invited to visit the Clerks office at their convenience to discuss the role of the Clerks and the concept of a shared responsibility between Counsel and Clerk.

 

Applicants from other Lists; the list also receives applications from counsel on other lists to join the list. In the case of these established counsel it may be that consultation between the List Chairperson and the Clerks will result in a decision to by-pass the interview process and simply offer a place on the list.
