Awards
Victorian Civil Justice Award
Each year the ALA presents a Victorian Civil Justice Award to a deserving recipient in accordance with the outlined criteria.
The award provides a platform of recognition to an individual who has fought for justice. The award generates significant media attention and provides additional opportunities for the recipient to raise further awareness about the issues for which they have fought, both within the legal fraternity and more broadly.
Forward all nominations for the Civil Justice Award to Richard Trim at enquiries@lawyersalliance.com.au by COB Friday 15 March 2019.
