To celebrate International Women’s Day, and as a joint initiative between the Melbourne Law School, the MU LSS Women’s Portfolio and the Women Barristers’ Association, the Melbourne Law School will welcome Alexandra Richards QC to speak on her experiences as a legal professional and current issues facing women’s access to justice. As a founder and President of Australian Women Lawyers from 1997 until 2000, Ms Richards has navigated the obstacles facing women in the law. Through a dedication to human rights advocacy, international experience as a consultant to the Office of Prosecutions, International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (UN) based in Arusha, Tanzania, various committee positions and as a University of Melbourne alumni, Ms Richards’ commitment to equality before the law certainly mirror the goals of International Women’s Day. For professional insights relevant to all women law students, and the opportunity to engage in conversation, this is an opportunity not to be missed! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008 Careers Guidebook Careers The 2008 Careers Guidebook is now available for download through the following link: http://www.careers.law.unimelb.edu.au/go/careers-information/index.cfm Please log in using your student username and password. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
