Under-fire Attorney-General George Brandis will open a conference for Australia's top legal professionals in Melbourne on Thursday.

Senator Brandis is under fire following the resignation of Solicitor-General Justin Gleeson on Monday after a damaging row between the pair.

Senator Brandis is set to open the two-day Australian Bar Association and Victorian Bar Conference at the MCG on Thursday morning
