Ashurst Australia has come up against a feisty anti-nuclear campaigner who refuses to back down … Fairfax settles, but the offending material is still out there … Dealing with lawyers’ letters … Defamatorium 

UPDATE … Government and Opposition opposed to incorporation of NSW barristers … Proposal looks ridiculous … Silken advice to the Bar Assoc … Trying to find the “linchpin” … Moral arguments dismissed … Proxy war … Barristers slowly losing their point of difference 

NSW bar in turmoil over pressure for barristers to incorporate … Tyro barrister pushing the agenda … Will existing leadership be obliged to go into early retirement if rolled by the members? … Ethical considerations … Tax advantage questionable
