I was seconded to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions as a Senior Federal Prosecutor in the Serious Financial and Corporate Crime - Fraud and Specialist Agencies Division. This role involved assessing briefs of evidence received from investigative agencies, and assessing the evidence against the Prosecution Policy of the Commonwealth to recommend whether criminal proceedings should be initiated. I also appeared as a List Officer in the Local Court, and instructed Counsel in indictable proceedings in the District Court. I was also the assisting officer in a 10 month jury trial which resulted in a conviction.My work involved instructing Counsel, preparing Court documents and correspondence, reviewing and analysing evidence, and undertaking legal research to assist Counsel. The trial was run as an e-trial by the CDPP team, which is novel for criminal trials. This gave me invaluable experience with the technology available for e-trials.
