Appearing against Brian Treyvaud was always a pleasure and a severe
test of one's ability as an advocate. Always courteous to the court,
witnesses and his opposition he had the skill to attract admissions from
witnesses called by his opposition with his careful and persistent probing
of evidence given. He would then make a well prepared and unexpected
submission in law to the court.
Brian's father, W.E.C. Treyvaud had been a solicitor with his own practice
in the Melbourne suburb in Hampton and perhaps Brian would have joined
him in that practice. Unfortunately he died when Brian was only 18
and he had to forge his own career in the Law. He did very well in
Geelong appearing frequently in the Magistrates Court and before visiting
judges in Supreme and County Courts. He left the firm now known as
Coulter Burke and established a career at the Victorian Bar followed by
an appointment as a Judge of the Family Court of Australia.
