Professional Skills
9.00am to 10.00am Analysing the Facts and Maximising the Value of Evidence
- “It’s not just experts…”: tell the finder of fact key things about the person telling the story - their education, life and business experience
- Other than contextual information, draft your affidavits with an eye to the ‘facts in issue’
- Conversation alone is insufficient: it usually requires corroboration, by other persons, or by contemporaneous documents and events
- ‘Curb your enthusiasm’(or that of the witness): the obligation of the legal practitioner

Andrew Bailey
Andrew Bailey commenced practice at the Bar in August 2014 after 12 years in practice as a solicitor: initially in Queensland, but principally in New South Wales since 2003, with responsibility for the conduct of matters in Victoria. Andrew accepts briefs in most areas of practice: particularly administrative law, bankruptcy and insolvency, commercial, construction, and equity. In his time as a solicitor, he has had some familiarity with costs litigation on behalf of firms he has worked for. This has developed into a discrete area of Andrew's practice at the Bar. Having an undergraduate degree in psychology, Andrew maintains an academic interest in psychiatric injury as a discrete legal topic.
