List G Barristers welcomes expressions of interest to join our membership at any time. We look for applicants who will add strength to our reputation as leading commercial and public law advocates.
New Readers
To practise as a barrister in Victoria, lawyers must first become ‘Readers’, which involves reading with an experienced barrister mentor. During this period, Readers are required to complete the Readers’ Course run by the Victorian Bar in March and August each year. Entry to the course is by exam.
List G Barristers welcomes applications from practitioners who have passed the Bar exam and have been formally offered a place in the Readers’ Course. We offer the opportunity to develop your practice in a leading Melbourne commercial and public law list and have a proud history of high caliber recruitment.
Written applications should be submitted in accordance with the Victorian Bar Guidelines for List Applications and addressed to our CEO, Jane King ([email protected]). Applications should include a copy of your academic transcript, two references, your curriculum vitae and a cover letter. Your cover letter should outline your relevant experience, intended legal practice at the Victorian Bar and reasons for your interest in joining List G Barristers.
Applications for membership commencing August 2025 will close on Friday 30 May 2025. Interviews will be conducted in-person in the week commencing Monday 23 June 2025. Successful applicants will receive a comprehensive range of exclusive member benefits.
