Back for its 10th year, the 30 Under 30 Awards celebrates and recognises the outstanding work and results achieved by the brightest up-and-coming Australian legal professionals. Achieving 30 Under 30 status offers a foundation for vocational success and career progression, providing an industry-wide acknowledgement of not only professional competency but also passion for and dedication to one’s craft.
Lawyers Weekly editor Jerome Doraisamy noted that it is very pleasing to see that the 10 law schools with the most finalists come from five different states and territories across the country.
“This speaks to the calibre of all Australian law schools: that award-nominated (and, for some, soon to be award-winning) up-and-coming lawyers in our profession can and do come from every corner of the country,” he proclaimed.
“On behalf of Lawyers Weekly, I wish all finalists the very best of luck – no matter what law school they attended.”

Speaking to Lawyers Weekly, Professor Simon Bronitt, dean at Sydney Law School, said that he was extremely proud of past and present students.
“There are many ways to measure and rank an Australia’s law school – by the quality of its legal scholarship, which informs teaching, and the achievements of alumni,” he said.
“Inspiring leadership is in the DNA of Sydney Law School, and we are proud of and offer congratulations for the many and varied successes of our graduates which are recognised by this type of award.”
