The Women Lawyers Association of the ACT is pleased to announce the resumption of the Annual Law Week Dinner, to be held on 11 May 2021.
Our special guest this year is Bri Lee. Bri is a Sydney-based author, freelance writer and speaker and is best known for her 2018 memoir, Eggshell Skull.
In her memoir, Bri explores sexism in the legal industry and justice system, and tells the story of how many barriers women – including Bri herself – face when trying to access justice. Eggshell Skull won several awards including the Biography of the Year at the Australian Book Industry Awards. It also received several other listings, including being longlisted for The Stella Prize.
Since that time, Bri has released a second book, Beauty, and been a well-known advocate for criminal justice law reform, working as a research assistant to Professor Jonathan Crowe at Bond University where together they co-authored a paper detailing Queensland’s consent and ‘mistake of fact’ laws.
