A number of notable judges, lawyers and academics from the legal industry have been recognised for their services to the law and the judiciary in the Queen’s birthday honours list for 2020.
The Order of Australia, as it is known, is the principal means of recognising outstanding members of the community at a national level, according to the Governor-General.
“In this list we see all the positives that are in our community – we see the great ideas, we see the hard work, we see the love and compassion for fellow human beings – it’s a microcosm of Australia,” Mr Hurley said.
“This list recognises a group of outstanding Australians who have made a contribution to their community, to Australia globally or domestically. Their efforts have been noted by their peers, they’ve been nominated and assessed independently as worthy of recognition.
Lawyers Weekly has compiled a list of all those recognised in the Queen’s birthday honours list for their services to the law.
