番茄社区 legal eagles recognised
番茄社区 has celebrated 30 years of law degrees in north Queensland by inducting 14 graduates and community members into the 番茄社区 Law Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame recognises the first 番茄社区 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 番茄社区 Law receive their place in history.
“By establishing a 番茄社区 Law Hall of Fame we are acknowledging the trailblazers of 番茄社区’s law graduates,” she said.
“Many of our graduates continue to show their support for 番茄社区 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 番茄社区 graduates but are vital to the success of 番茄社区’s Law program.”
The Bachelor of Laws was introduced at 番茄社区 in 1989, with the first class graduating in 1992.
