I have uploaded a file: an article by Justice Richard Chesterman that originally appeared in the Queensland Bar News. Justice Chesterman gave me permission to upload the file (it’s a PDF file). This permission was forwarded by Ian Hanger QC, the original McKenzie friend.
A McKenzie friend is someone, who may or may not be a lawyer, who assists an unrepresented litigant in court.
I made earlier entries on the topic, on June 3rd, June 8th and November 6th 2003, and was very excited when the true McKenzie friend wrote a comment!
There are two recent comments under the November 6th entry from Australians asking questions I can’t answer.
I have other files to upload, and I will eventually put a link in the margin.
