Decision Date

CaseChat Overview and Summary

In the Supreme Court of Tasmania, the case of Berivan Kurdistan v The Law Society of Tasmania was heard on Monday, 22 July 2019. Kurdistan sought admission to the legal profession in Tasmania, and the court had to determine whether she met the necessary requirements for admission. The Law Society opposed Kurdistan’s application, asserting that she did not fulfil the requisite criteria.

The primary legal issue was whether Kurdistan had satisfied the conditions for admission to the legal profession under the Legal Profession Act 2003 (Tas). This included demonstrating academic qualifications, completing a practical legal training course, and meeting character requirements. The court needed to examine whether Kurdistan’s academic background, practical experience, and character were sufficient to warrant her admission.

The court considered the evidence presented by Kurdistan and the objections raised by the Law Society. Kurdistan provided documentation of her academic qualifications and practical training, and the court assessed her overall suitability for admission. The court concluded that Kurdistan had met the academic and practical training requirements, but there were concerns regarding her character. The court found that Kurdistan’s past conduct, including a criminal conviction, did not disqualify her from admission, as she had demonstrated rehabilitation and was deemed fit for admission.

The court ordered that Kurdistan be admitted to the legal profession in Tasmania, subject to her compliance with any conditions the court might impose. The decision acknowledged Kurdistan's qualifications and training while also weighing the character concerns and ultimately finding them insufficient to bar her admission.
