WALKING THE TALK - Practical ways for women lawyers to make a difference for themselves and for others
The CLA Regional Law Conference will take place in Sydney, Australia from 19 - 22 April 2012.
The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Advocacy, past, present and future - constant values for a modern Bar’. Throughout the three days, sessions and discussions will focus on the provision of quality advocacy and provide an opportunity for serious debate about international issues directly concerning the legal professions around the globe.
Chief District Court Judge Jan-Marie Doogue has issued a Practice Note which will “fastrack” claims arising from the Christchurch earthquakes.
The Council and Executive at the Association wish you all a Merry Christmas and safe and relaxing festive season.
The New Zealand Bar Association office will be closed over the Christmas period from 23 December 2011 until 12 January 2012.
