Queensland Law Week

Q150

Get geared up! Queensland’s legal profession is gathering together to celebrate Q150 and reflect on the legal milestones of the last 150 years.

Discover all the different legal services available in your community and how you can access them, while you learn about Queensland’s legal system during Queensland Law Week.  This year it was held between 11-17 May 2009 at the Brisbane Magistrates Court, 363 George Street, Brisbane CBD, with professionals giving out important information, advice, entertainment and giveaways.

It’s a great opportunity to get information and guidance about:

  • accessing legal services
  • accessing legal professionals
  • accessing the courts
  • services provided by JAG and industry agencies
  • career opportunities.

The week included an insider’s look at searching for civil files at the Supreme and District Courts, ceremonial sittings, information sessions on being a court volunteer and a self-representative litigant, a law hypothetical on the indigenous over-representation in our criminal justice system, a trivia night, a walk for justice and tours of the courts.

It’s a great chance to get to know Brisbane’s legal system and network with the top people in Brisbane’s legal community. It is the one time that everyone will be there so make sure you don’t miss it!
