Queensland Law Reform Commission (QLRC) President Fleur Kingham will receive the Law Council of Australia’s Eminent Environmental Lawyer Award for Excellence next month in Brisbane.
The Australian Environment and Planning Law Group of the Legal Practice Section acknowledges and celebrates outstanding lawyers in the environmental law field every year.
The Eminent Environmental Lawyer Award for Excellence recognises an established lawyer whose long-standing and outstanding contribution to the field, both directly and in terms of supporting the education and development of younger lawyers, is worthy of celebration.
