Explanatory notes to occasional surveys
These surveys are designed to enable the broader legal community and the public to reflect on critical issues that arise in the regulation of conduct in the legal profession, and to share those reflections with us.
The surveys take less than 30 minutes to complete and are completely confidential. These are designed to preserve the anonymity of the people who complete them - we are simply not able to identify individual respondents.
We will however publish and continually update the aggregated and de-identified results so that those completing our surveys can have feedback and compare their results with the results of others. That will be a rich source of information also.
Survey on unsatisfactory professional conduct: A project undertaken with the support and assistance of the Griffith Law School that tested how lawyers, law students and members of the public understand and apply the concept of unsatisfactory professional conduct to a range of factual scenarios that are typical of complaints the Commission receives every day about the conduct of lawyers.
