SUMMARY:2022 Paul Byrne Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:2022 Paul Byrne Memorial Lecture: They’re all good cases: Paul Byrne SC\nDelivered by Justice Peter Hamill\nPaul Byrne was one of Justice Peter Hamill’s most important mentors. His Honour thought he would use the opportunity\, at what would have been\, but for Covid\, the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the Paul Byrne SC Memorial Lecture\, to speak about the man himself. \nJustice Hamill will speak about the contributions Paul made to the law though his work at all levels of the criminal justice system\, his quirks and eccentricities\, his passions\, and his approach to the art of persuasion. \nThe lecture will be a personal and professional memoir of a man who so many people loved and admired. \nIt will cover some of Paul’s triumphs in the High Court on critical issues in the criminal law like identification evidence (Domican)\, the prosecutor’s duty of disclosure (in Grey)\, relevance (in Mundarra Smith)\, judicial and apprehended bias (in Antoun) and obtaining special leave where a point was not taken in the courts below (Crampton). \nJustice Hamill will also share some of Paul Byrne’s wisdom about court craft and advocacy\, the benefits of courtesy\, aspects of cross-examination and “reading the room”\, that is the Court room. The lecture may meander into more esoteric subjects such why expert witnesses should not wear bow ties and Paul’s unique approach to financial investment. There may be some discussion of racing cars. \nHis Honour hopes his speech will be both educational and entertaining\, but mainly hopes to share some stories about one of Australia’s finest criminal defence lawyers. \nAbout the speaker\nJustice Peter Hamill was sworn in as a judge of the Supreme Court in April 2014. His Honour began his legal career as a clerk in the Court of Petty Sessions and achieved his legal qualifications by studying part time for the Barristers’ Admission Board examinations. His Honour worked as Justice Mary Gaudron’s Associate in the High Court before commencing practice at the Bar in 1988. \nHe was a renowned criminal barrister and founding member of Forbes Chambers where he practised for over 25 years\, taking silk in 2004. His Honour was briefed in many trial matters by the Western Aboriginal Legal Service during this time and appeared at all levels of the criminal justice system\, from the Local Court to the High Court\, appearing in more than 150 criminal appeals. \nHis Honour also worked on some of the state’s most significant coronial inquests and commissions of inquiry including for the family in the police killing of Roberto Curti\, for Keli Lane at the inquest into the disappearance of her daughter and for NSW police at the judicial inquiry into the conviction of Phuong Ngo. His Honour is known for his unique catchwords\, and a bold and humane approach to the law. \nPaul Byrne SC was one of his most important mentors and he still has a small shrine in his chambers so that he will never forget Paul’s wisdom and humanity. \n  \nWEDNESDAY 22 JUNE 2022\nTime: 6-7.30pm (followed by a cocktail reception) \nThis event is being held in-person at Sydney Law School. \n  \nCPD Points: 1.5 \n  \nThe Paul Byrne Memorial Fund\nThe Paul Byrne Memorial Fund was set up to honour and continue Paul’s interest in the criminal justice system by supporting the ongoing activities of the Institute of Criminology\, such as lectures\, seminars\, publications\, and awards. Attendees of the Paul Byrne SC Memorial Lecture are warmly invited to make a donation to The Paul Byrne SC Memorial Fund. \nGifts to The Paul Byrne SC Memorial Fund support the activities of the Institute of Criminology and other activities in the field of criminal law at Sydney Law School\, in memory of the late Paul Byrne SC. \n  \nThis event is proudly hosted by the Sydney Institute of Criminology\, highlighting the Institute’s support of critical criminal justice research\, practice\, policy and debate.
