"UIT DIE VUIS"
(Experiences of a Senior Advocate)

Adv Sam Maritz SC

Sam Maritz was born in the West Rand and matriculated in Kimberley. After graduating with a BA.LLB from Pretoria University, he was admitted as an advocate and worked in the office of the Attorney-General in Pretoria. Subsequently he served as articled clerk in Vryburg and Windhoek and was admitted as attorney, but he never practised as an attorney.

In 1978 Sam was again admitted as advocate and practised in Pretoria. In 1985 he obtained the status of senior counsel, Senior Consultus (SC). While in practice he acted as judge in the Supreme Court 6 or 7 times for 3-month periods. In 2020 he left the Bar, but remained on as an associate member till June 2020. In that year Sam settled in Stilbaai.

In the talk Adv Sam Maritz chats about his experiences as senior advocate. He discusses, inter alia, the composition of the court, procedures, the role of an advocate vs that of an attorney. He relates some of his personal experiences with several highly placed persons, and then also his experiences with other aspects of the courts system and personal interests.

Meeting arrangements

If load shedding is again in effect on 29 August, it could mean that the power is off in the morning. At this stage we are planning to start the meeting at 10h00, but will confirm later in the month.

UIT DIE VUIS
(Ervarings van 'n Senior Advokaat)

Adv Sam Maritz SC

Sam Maritz is gebore in die Wes-Rand, en het in Kimberley matrikuleer. Na verwerwing van 'n BA.LLB by die Universiteit Pretoria, word hy as advokaat toegelaat en werk by die kantoor van die Prokureur-Generaal in Pretoria. Daarna dien hy as leerklerk in Vryburg en Windhoek waar hy as prokureur toegelaat is, maar hy praktiseer nooit as prokureur nie.

In 1978 is Sam weer as advokaat toegelaat, en praktiseer in Pretoria. In 1985 verwerf hy die status van senior advokaat, Senior Consultus (SC). Terwyl hy praktiseer het hy 6 of 7 keer vir 3 maande tydperke waargeneem as regter in die Hooggeregshof. In 2020 verlaat hy die Balie, maar bly aan as geassosieerde lid tot Junie 2020. In daardie jaar verhuis Sam na Stilbaai.

In die praatjie gesels Adv Sam Maritz oor sy ervarings as senior advokaat. Hy vertel van o.a. die samestelling van die hof, prosedures, en die rol van 'n advokaat vs die rol van 'n prokureur. Dan praat hy van 'n aantal van sy persoonlike ondervindings met verskeie hooggeplaasdes en ook van ander aspekte van die hofstelsel en persoonlike belangstellings.

Vergadering-reëlings
