Now, it may be shocking to hear, but I know as a lawyer and as the daughter of a lawyer and as an academic who studies lawyers that lawyers are in this job to protect people, not harm them. Yet we do harm not only to individuals, but also to the search for truth. And we do that harm through some of our most time-honoured, centuries-old practices. It's hard to turn a ship that thinks it's going in the right direction, but six years ago, in Whangārei, we did just that. We designed a pilot that became the District Court sexual violence court and the basis of a national training programme for judges and lawyers. It wasn't easy, but now more and more lawyers agree that if a defendant or a witness is going to struggle to communicate or understand standard trial process, we change the process. Some still see that change as a threat, but the rest of us know that if the way you're acting is endangering the very thing you're trying to achieve, change is good.
