The accolades, presented by the Honourable Justice Debra Mullins at a ceremony hosted by The College of Law Queensland on 24 April, recognised the excellence of women in Queensland’s law schools in the past year.
“The awards represent the highest level of achievement. I hope it will encourage and inspire these women to go on and make their mark in the legal sector,” said Ann-Maree David, chief executive officer at The College of Law Queensland, which can boast four of the six winners as current or former students.
WLAQ president Kathryn Finlayson said the graduates had “achieved remarkable academic success and are an inspiration to students who follow in their footsteps”.
The awards honour Una Prentice, the first woman to graduate from the faculty of law at the University of Queensland in 1938.
