25.01.2022 Headphones at the ready... LSJ has a new podcast series! Tune into the first three episodes of "JustChat", where we speak to those making and shaping the law in NSW and bring you the human stories behind the justice system. Episode one tells the incredible story of Michael Coutts-Trotter, who 30 years ago was a convicted drug dealer living in Long Bay prison. Today, as Secretary of the NSW Department of Communities and Justice, he is responsible for managing the state’s prisons and trying to help so many others find a second chance.

22.01.2022 The issue of the separation of powers goes to the core of Australian democracy. Mostly we take it for granted. However, recent government responses to COVID-19 have necessitated rapid lawmaking that sometimes bypasses the separation of powers. It is a trend that has caused some concern among lawyers. LSJ explains.

18.01.2022 Many members of the NSW legal profession still shudder at mention of the Family Court Bomber - the mysterious anarchist who terrorised Australian family courts in the 1980s. It took decades for the bomber to be unmasked and, just last month, sentenced to life in prison. LSJ takes a deep dive into the early years of the Family Law Act and speaks with judges who reflect on those challenging times. A fascinating read.

13.01.2022 The St George Sutherland Law Society established the Cameron O’Brien Memorial Bursary in 2013, in memory of Cameron O’Brien, a commerce/law student from the Sutherland Shire who tragically passed away in 2012 during his fourth year of study. This year, students Jacob Moussa and Jenna Lennon from UOW: University of Wollongong, Australia took home bursaries for their community involvement, charity work and outstanding academic achievements. Coincidentally, the two are good frie...nds who have been in classes together since pre-school (a fact the judges were unaware of)! Well done Jacob and Jenna. The future of our profession looks bright with such inspiring young people leading the way. St George Sutherland Young Lawyers NSW Young Lawyers
