Two lawyers in their first 15 years of practice have won seats in the 2011 bencher election.
Newcomer Jacqueline Horvat and incumbent Jennifer Halajian are among the 40 successful candidates, announced earlier this afternoon by the Law Society. Halajian was the only bencher in her first 15 years to win a seat in 2007.
