No wonder it is going to take two weeks if they knock off for the day at ten to three.

Judges are laughing all the way to the bank, you'll be lucky if you get five productive hours out of them in one day

I just dont get why this will run for nearly 2 weeks?

Easy. Counsel for both the prosecution and the defence, and their juniors, will be on a daily refresher. Would you hurry it along if you were one of them?

Didn't get going until 1100 today, down to the local Bistro for lunch at 1300 and then back for a quick session this afternoon (allowing enough time for the Shiraz to wear off before driving home)

Jury dismissed for the week after the prosecution called several witnesses.

I think "retainer" is the word you are looking for

They get Friday off on top of a three hour working day? I should have worked harder at school to have been able to be part of this meal ticket.

Barristers have a brief fee and then refresher fees for each day after the first day of trial.

2pm start today for the little flowers. Knock off at 3pm do we think?

Hope there's some new evidence because so far it doesn't look very good

Reasonable doubt is the watchword - depends on the jury again.

It wasn't. My terminology is the one used. Counsel is instructed or retained in a case and this, in terms of fees, is extended by the refresher. If you saw some of the fees involved, it would be mind-boggling!
