Bar, bah

Exclusive ... NSW bar's 2013 list of applicants for silk ... Plenty of familiar names reappear ... Waving, not drowning ... Sifting now underway 

HERE we go, again. There are 113 names on the 2013 list of applicants for silkship in NSW, a slight drop from 117 the year before. 

Fifteen on the new list are female, a hefty decline from 28 percent of the applicants in 2012 to 13 percent this year. 

The four relevant columns next to each name are headed: Highly Suitable; Suitable; Not Yet Suitable; Not Suitable. 

Applicants need lots of ticks in the first two of those columns. 

Usually around 25 each year make it through the loops. 

The committee of gatekeepers comprises a heap of SCs: Phillip Boulten, Jane Needham, Jeremy Gormly, Andrew Bell, Richard McHugh, Anthony Payne, plus former judge Jane Matthews and lay person Dennis Robertson.
