admission & establishment...

Do you swear that you will truly and honestly conduct yourself in the practice of a Lawyer of the Supreme Court of New South Wales and that you will faithfully serve as such in the administration of the laws and usages of this State according to the best of your knowledge, skill and ability? - I do.

Today I was admitted into practice - I am so proud of myself right now, it feels like the culmination of 7 and a half years of study, hard work, sweat and tears.







My husband and my parents came to the ceremony with me - the partner of a law firm I worked at last year, an old friend, moved my admission. I felt absolutely surrounded by affection and positive energy, I could see how proud they all were of me, and that made me feel amazing. I could not have made it through all those years of study without their continual love and support.

Headed out to lunch at est. after the ceremony, mmmm best lunch ever. Started out with a glass of moet, then...



salad of Italian buffalo mozarella, fresh figs, shaved fennel and pomegranate



nage of lobster claw, scampi, moreton bay bug, broad beans, green peas and chervil



glazed duck breast with panfried nectarine, fried polenta chip and pak choy
