District High School graduates and their career choices Cindy ' Hynos: litigation in Australi- a EXETER - For Dashwood native Cindy Hynes, "keeping up to date with the law and the changes" presents a challenge "because it never stays the same." The 1979 South Huron District High School graduate will return to Australia next week following a six-week trip that began in Western Canada and ended in Dashwood. Now a litigation lawyer, Hynes has been interested in a legal profession since her high school days. She enrolled in a two-year paralegal course at Fanshawe College, then worked with London firms as a paralegal, concentrating mainly in the property department. Seven years later, a holiday in New Zealand introduced her to her future husband, David, and she moved to Australia within the year. For the past eight years she's been working with a large law firm, first in Sydney, New South Wales, then in Adelaide, South Australia. Her job involves the fused practice of solicitor work in the office and barrister work in court. As well as supervising clients, Hynes deals with commercial disputes, industrial relations and does some criminal work. Much of her time is spent advising clients, drafting documents and going to trials.

"You have to be marketable and listen to what your client wants," she explained, adding alternative dispute resolutions are gaining popularity in Australia, "because both parties can win." In her spare time, Hynes sails, fishes and enjoys other outdoor activities. She likes living in Australia and describes it as "a beautiful country" with brilliant beaches. However, she does notice the water pressure is different from back home in Huron County. "South Australia is the driest state in the driest continent...You tend to forget how lush and green it is here in the summer." Hynes keeps in touch with family and close friends from high school who sometimes call her at odd hours due to the 14 to 16 hour time change.
