    De-Suiting the Law, Ep1. Law on TV - Fact vs Fiction

    In the debut of De-suiting the Law, Aitken Partners Principal Lawyers Susan Ilias and Bao Ngo pull back the curtain on how Australian courts really work, and why American TV dramas can set unrealistic expectations.   They explain core courtroom etiquette, including why there are no surprise witnesses, no roaming the room, and no “approach the bench” moments. They also discuss professionalism and ethics, noting that a lawyer’s paramount duty is to the court and that theatrics or slurs would attract serious consequences.   They highlight the months of preparation behind a single hearing, from affidavits to document bundles that can run to thousands of pages. Susan and Bao also share how pop culture influences clients and self‑represented litigants, and why civility and relevance matter more than shouting across the room.   -   De-suiting the Law is a video podcast hosted by Aitken Partners Principal Lawyers Susan Ilias and Bao Ngo.
