The Australian Women Lawyers Second National Conference held last week on 13-14 June, was a well-attended success. At the Conference Opening, Chief Justice Diana Bryant of the Family Court of Australia was announced as the new patron of AWL. The Keynote address of Dame Sian Elias Chief Justice of New Zealand was another highlight of the Conference, as were the discussions generated among attendees about the continued importance for women to remain engaged in women's rights issues. Chief Justice Elias' comments about the need to ensure that judicial discretion is exercised boldly in the creation of justice, were certainly a refreshing and uplifting reminder of the need to be courageous in ensuring that justice is and continues to be created. A Conference Communique was discussed, revised and approved by the Delegates at the Conference, and adopted by the AWL Board at its meeting on Sunday 15 June. This document sets our what AWL is about, what issues it seeks to address, and what AWL's general position on particular policy issues is. Please click here to read the Communique. I invite you to join us and our distinguished guests on the special occasion of our biennial Celebrating Women in the Judiciary function on 24th July 2008 at the American Club.
