Queensland Courts’ Equal Treatment Benchbook has been significantly revised to provide practical, contemporary guidance for judicial officers to support procedural fairness and equality of treatment for all court participants.
The third edition of the Benchbook aims to facilitate justice, ensuring that no person is disadvantaged in their interaction with the courts due to factors such as race, culture, language, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ability, age, or other relevant difference or difficulty.
It is also a valuable resource for lawyers, self-represented litigants, parties to proceedings, witnesses, and interpreters.
The Supreme Court of Queensland will launch the third edition of the Equal Treatment Benchbook at 5.30pm on Wednesday, 25 March, in the Banco Court, QEII Courts of Law.
Practitioners are welcome to attend.
