Silk queue

Applicants for Senior Counsel in New South Wales ... 102 put their hands up in a bleak market ... Repeat contenders aplenty ... The list in full 

Waiting for silk

THIS year sees a beefy contingent of 102 NSW barristers who have filled in the forms and sent in their SC applications on time.

Sixteen women have applied or 15.7 percent, up on the previous year's 13 percent.

Last year there were 113 applicants with 24 making the cut, an overall success rate of 21 percent.

In 2012 there were 117 contenders (28 percent female). Overall, 26 (22 percent) were selected as senior counsel in 2012. 

There's also information about the applicants in 2011

Here is the fresh crop of hopefuls for 2014. The asterisk* means the candidate had previously applied for silk within the last three years. In fact, of the current list nearly two-thirds, or 64 percent, are repeating the experience. 

Bon courage ...
