Lawyers and judges are highly trusted by Australians, even though the public struggles to believe the profession “has their best interests at heart”, according to research conducted for the NSW Law Society.
The study of community attitudes to lawyers, judges and the legal system for the nation’s biggest legal association led to trust scores of about 60 per cent.
The Law Society survey of 1000 people aged 18 to 65 was conducted by Pureprofile in August.
