Chapman's List Barristers draws on the experience
and heritage of our diverse list of barristers to provide you
with the best possible advocate for your matter.
Our Heritage
The List was founded by Ric Howells in September of 1980 when the Victorian Bar appointed Ric to establish a new list of barristers. The list was formed with three consecutive intakes of readers, with 19 barristers making up the initial intake of Howells’ List. Over the next few years, the List would quickly develop into an established and flourishing List with many members emerging as leaders in their field. The Lists of Clerks Roberts and Laurence would later merge with the List under Ric’s leadership and the List continued to grow and prosper into the 21st century.
