International Law

The Golden Gavel is on next Tuesday 11 August at Vinos Eagle Street Pier ... and once again I will be competing.

The Golden Gavel is an annual event held by the Queensland Young Lawyers in coordination with the Australian Young Lawyers Committee.  The Golden Gavel is a public speaking competition for young lawyers.  Each state holds a state final to determine which young lawyer can give the most interesting, and hopefully, amusing speech.  Previous topics have included:

• Lawyers and Penis Envy: My Firm is Bigger than Your Firm;
• If Dr. Suess were a Justice of the High Court;
• Corporate Greed Is Good;
• The Best Six Minutes of My Life;
• Punch Drunk Love: The Legal Office Christmas Party.
