EVENT CANCELLED
We regret to inform you that due to unforeseen circumstances, the 2023 Hal Wootten Lecture on Thursday 12 October 2023 is now cancelled.
This annual lecture was established in 2006 by UNSW Law & Justice in honour of our founding Dean, the late Emeritus Professor Hal Wootten AC QC. The lecture is a highlight of the UNSW year and commemorates Hal Wootten's vision – that a Law School should have and communicate to its students a keen concern for those on whom the law bears harshly.
This year's lecture is also a keynote event of the 2023 UNSW Australian Human Rights Institute’s conference, Accountability in crisis: the rise of impunity as a challenge to human rights.
This event is co-hosted by
