This week we are delighted to have as a guest of the Wigs, David Buchanan SC. David is a quiet and unassuming legend of the criminal law in NSW.  Admitted to legal practice in 1975 and then called to the Bar in 1977, in the decades between then and now he has not wearied nor lost his zeal and professional dedication. He was appointed Senior Counsel in 1997 and has almost retired after a long career of practising as both a prosecutor and defence counsel in NSW. He has been a champion of social justice, particularly in his work for, and in, the gay and lesbian community and in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic both in Australia and overseas. In this interview with Wig Felicity Graham, David shares his personal insights, reflects on his journey through the law, the influences on him, some of his key cases and his tips for surviving and thriving as a criminal law practitioner today. Enjoy the show!
