The ANU College of Law is hosting its 11th Annual National Indigenous Legal Conference on 5 and 6 September which will include prominent keynote speakers from the legal community to discuss current and emerging indigenous legal issues.

As part of our objective to promote inclusion and diversity more broadly, including in relation to indigenous issues, the WLA ACT is pleased to sponsor a place for one of its members to attend this two day Conference and Gala Dinner.

We encourage applications from any of our members, and particularly from our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members whose applications will be given preference. If you are interested in applying for this sponsorship (worth $750), please email WLA ACT at contact@wlaact.org.au with the following information by COB on 19 August 2016.
