Join us for a special breakfast event where you can connect with inspiring lawyers from the ACT region.
Learn about the diverse career paths for women in law – from private practice to NGOs, working "at the bar" to being an in-house lawyer, or what it is like to be a Judge. Meet and chat with female-identifying peers, lecturers, and alumni to gain insights and inspiration.
Light refreshments will be served.
