    EMPOWER. INSPIRE. CONNECT 28 SEPTEMBER - 2 OCTOBER 2020 PRESENTED BY ORGANISED BY SUPPORTING PARTNERS FOREWORD Future Female started as a dream of mine. I dreamt of a place where women like me are free to be ourselves, and pursue the life that we want. Along the journey, I crossed paths with people that shared this passion of mine. We joined together, putting in our heart and sweats, to make this space come true. I want to thank Study Melbourne – Emma, Diana and James, for your unwavering support towards international students and this conference. I also want to thank Victoria University – Natalie and Jasmin, for your trust, patience and expertise. Last but not least, the committee, Cheng, Sean, Prajuli and Veronica – your unique contribution is what makes Future Female special. This year has been tumultuous for everyone to say the least. For international students, it has been particularly challenging to go through a global pandemic being away from home, facing all the uncertainties alone. We decided to do our best in delivering Future Female to our community, hoping that this conference will continue to bring hope and stability to you, and to connect us together, even if it has to be through a computer screen. Future Female 2020 will bring to you a panel of inspiring and dynamic women each day. We will focus on topics that are relevant to our ever-changing world, the opportunities for us as future females, and the long-lasting impact that we can make. We hope that you will enjoy the sessions as much as we enjoyed crafting them.

  • LIV Young Lawyers Annual Report 2019
    LIV Young Lawyers Annual Report 2019 Contact: Rose Inglis T 03 9607 9561 F 03 9607 9558 1 [email protected] LIV Young Lawyers President’s Report Formed in 1979, and representing over 8,000 law students, graduates and legal practitioners in their first five years of practice or under the age of 36, the LIV Young Lawyers (YL) Section is the peak body within the Victorian legal profession. In 2019, the LIV YL focused on increasing equality, facilitating wellness, and embracing technology. These three pillars helped guide both the work of the YL Executive and its committees as we worked to advance the interests of our large and diverse membership. The Professional Development Committee (PDC) delivered the LIV YL Online Resource Centre at the start of 2019, an initiative spanning multiple years, which resulted in the collation and categorisation of dozens of articles for law students, new practitioners, and emerging leaders with 3-5 years’ post- admission experience. This was followed by a range of professional development seminars, held at our new LIV premises, attended by hundreds of LIV YL members, including a Clerkship Workshop and a Technology in the Law event, demonstrating a new level of collaboration between the LIV YL and Victorian universities. Another highlight included the Victorian Golden en Gavel competition, adroitly adjudicated by past LIV YL President Fiona McLeod SC, among others, and won by Adrian Dean, who later won the National Gavel. The Social Committee hosted and promoted a range of games nights, and joint networking events with the Australian Law Student Association (ALSA), the junior VicBar and Victorian Women Lawyers (VWL).
