Michael Kirby, who served on national and international bodies during his legal career, will also present workshops for law students at CSU.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for the Bathurst community to hear from one of the most influential legal figures of our age,” CSU Centre for Law and Justice acting director Dr Kath McFarlane said.
“It is also a tremendous privilege for CSU’s Bachelor of Laws students, who will participate in specialised workshops facilitated by Justice Kirby.”
Upon his retirement from the High Court of Australia in February 2009, Justice Kirby was Australia’s longest-serving judicial officer.
He served as president of the International Commission of Jurists, as the UN Special Representative for Human Rights in Cambodia, and on the UNAIDS Reference Group on HIV and Human Rights during his legal career.
Dr McFarlane said the CSU Centre for Law and Justice works closely with and learns from the professions and “connects its students with leading national and international thinkers”.
The free public lecture will be held from 10.30am to 1pm on Wednesday, January 31 in building 1411, room 347. A light lunch at CSU Engineering (building 1305) will follow the event. To RSVP, contact Kristy Larsen on 6338 4087 or klarsen@csu.edu.au.
