UNSW Leading in the Law 2025 Summit – Leading in the Legal Profession
Speech delivered by Law Council of Australia President, Juliana Warner at the UNSW Leading in the Law 2025 Summit in Sydney, 26 February 2025.
"Leading in the Legal Profession could cover many things, but I think at its heart, it boils down to just one objective – advancing the common good.
As Chief Justice Bell emphasised in his earlier remarks to you, the legal profession is exactly that – a profession. I never refer to the legal profession as an industry or a business. We are a profession, and – to use an old-fashioned word - we are an honourable profession that proudly serves our community. The Law Council’s Lawyer Project highlighted the positive social, economic and political contribution the legal profession makes each and every day and in a variety of ways."
