2020 Lawyer of the Year Awards – Postponed
The Lawyer of the Year Awards recognise practitioners who have made particularly noteworthy contributions to the Western Australian legal profession, over and above what might be reasonably expected through paid legal employment.
The Law Society normally invites members to submit entries to the Lawyer of Year Awards in the first quarter of year, with the nominations and winners being announced at the Law Week Awards Night on the Friday of Law Week each year.
Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lawyer of the Year Awards and the Law Week Awards Night have been postponed to a later date. We will advise the new date and open nominations when possible. If you have any questions, please contact membership@lawsocietywa.asn.au
