Samuel Burton Email and Phone Number

I have close to three years’ post-admission experience, predominantly in the area of criminal law. During this time, I’ve worked on matters in the Local, District and Supreme Courts. My experience has exposed me to a broad range of criminal matters, including bail applications, committal hearings, jury trials, sentencing hearings and Court of Criminal Appeal proceedings. For the past two years I have worked at the Supreme Court of New South Wales as a judge’s associate and researcher. Prior to this, I spent six months as a graduate lawyer in private practice. I also have experience working for Legal Aid New South Wales and a community legal centre. As well as this, I’ve drafted law reform submissions for the New South Wales Young Lawyers Criminal Law Committee, and published several articles.I am currently looking to move into the next stage of my career as a solicitor with an advocacy role. My areas of interest include criminal and administrative law, commissions of inquiry, coronial inquests, common law claims and appellate work.
