The annual Brendan Cassidy Memorial Lecture is being held on 25 May 2011 and we encourage all law students, lecturers and any other interested parties to attend.

For those unfamiliar with the event, we secure a new speaker every year to come to Bundoora campus and give a single lecture on a changing but relevant topic. Past years have included Women in the Law and Human Rights in Respect of Refugees. Those familiar with past holdings of this event will know of the prestige and expertise of our speakers. This is an excellent chance to learn more about current issues in both the law and otherwise and gain exposure to ideas and movements you might not have known existed.

This year we are proud to produce a lecture within the theme of environmental law issues and Brian Walters SC has been secured on recommendation of the Environmental Defenders Office in Victoria.

All students are warmly invited to attend.
