Criminal Law is an everchanging and dynamic area of law which affects everyone and everything. It is incredibly important to understand the operation of how our Justice System works and how the balancing act of a defendant’s rights and access to Justice for the victim is maintained. In this seminar Mathai Joshi, Associate at Connolly Suthers Lawyers will discuss a broad summary of the Criminal Law in Queensland and the role of defence solicitors. Mathai will also briefly summarise some of the notable and significant changes to Criminal Law in Queensland, with a particular focus on the specialist DV Court; and on the changes to Coercive Control introduced in March 2024.
