Criminal barrister. As in, a barrister who happens to work on criminal cases. Not, like, a criminal who also happens to be a barrister.
The NSW Attorney General today announced that judicial officers in the Local Court will now be known as "judge" rather than "magistrate".
This will not, presumably, prevent self-represented litigants from calling them "your Worship" (abolished in 2004) or, on some happy occasions, "your Majesty".
