ʯÁñÊÓƵ

The Hall of Fame recognises the first ʯÁñÊÓƵ Law graduates to achieve prominent positions in the legal profession, as well as acknowledging special achievements and contributions from graduates and members of the north Queensland legal community.

Law Lecturer Tina Hoyer said the Hall of Fame is about ensuring the founding students of ʯÁñÊÓƵ Law receive their place in history.

“By establishing a ʯÁñÊÓƵ Law Hall of Fame we are acknowledging the trailblazers of ʯÁñÊÓƵ’s law graduates,” she said.

“Many of our graduates continue to show their support for ʯÁñÊÓƵ throughout their careers by returning as guest speakers or by mentoring current students.

“We also want to acknowledge the valuable contribution made by members of the legal community who aren’t ʯÁñÊÓƵ graduates but are vital to the success of ʯÁñÊÓƵ’s Law program.”

The Bachelor of Laws was introduced at ʯÁñÊÓƵ in 1989, with the first class graduating in 1992.
