Foreword by the Honourable Chief Justice of Queensland

The translation in format, from PDF to Web-page, should render Hearsay even more attractive to the reader or browser.

I commend the Bar Council for its support for this initiative, and Martin Burns and his team for their valuable contribution.

The liveliness of the issues confronting the contemporary barrister more than warrants a publication on this regular and comprehensive basis;  and it has the added attraction of being interesting and even, not infrequently, entertaining.

The Hon Paul de Jersey AC
Chief Justice of Queensland
