When you appear before a Standards Committee as counsel, you have the same privileges and immunities as counsel in a court of law. You can think of privileges and immunities as special protections that help you do your job. This means you are treated the same as a lawyer in a courtroom, as seen in the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act related section.
