The sole criticism directed at him for continuing to practice, from a few members of the Parliament, was due to one of his clients being the State of South Australia (holding a retainer for it in relation to use of the waters of the Murray River for irrigation, navigation etc.).
However, as Deakin noted in his support of him in the House of Representatives, Isaacs' predecessor as Attorney-General in the Reid administration, Josiah Symon, had likewise been retained by South Australia - and no objection had then been taken.
