This special edition of Bar News examines what constitutes ethical practice. There are articles on the medieval origins of a barrister's ethical obligations, the Bar Association's role in regulating the conduct of its members and aspects of ethical practice. There is an interview with Chief Justice Andrew Bell, in which he speaks candidly about his plans for the court and his hopes for the Bar. Our cover, front and back, honours the life and service of Sir Francis Gerard Brennan AC KBE GBS. As Chief Justice Bell said, Sir Gerard was the personification of decency and a man of deep principle, fierce intellect, profound empathy and strength of character. It is fitting that he is on the cover of this special ethics edition.
