Law Council of Australia Webinar: Frontline Legal Services in Times of Crisis

The Law Council of Australia is delivering an online webinar of the topic of "Frontline legal services in times of crisis".

Leaders in the sector Rowan McRae, Nassim Arrange and David Woodroffe will join with the Law Council’s President, Dr Jacoba Brasch QC, to identify improvements to be made so that the sector is better equipped to respond in future emergencies.

The session will be delivered via Zoom on Wednesday 11 August 2021, at 3.00pm Perth Time. Register Here.
