[Edited extract from public address]

Join an exclusive evening with one of the most respected legal minds in Australia’s history, the Hon. Michael Kirby AC CMG.

The evening will be hosted by Distinguished Professor Larissa Behrendt AO, an award-winning author, lawyer and leading Indigenous legal scholar, and Chair of the National Justice Project.

Guests will have the exciting opportunity to put their own questions to the former Justice of the High Court of Australia. Justice Kirby has spent more than five decades at the forefront of Australian law and law reform, serving on the High Court of Australia and as President of the NSW Court of Appeal.  

In conversation with Professor Behrendt, Justice Kirby will reflect on this extraordinary career, his lifelong commitment to human rights, and the cases that have shaped his work.  

Held in the award-winning Dr Chau Chak Wing Building at UTS, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, the event will include drinks and canapés.

Limited early-bird tickets are now available here - save more than 10% when you book early.

When you book, you'll be able to submit a question for Justice Kirby. A shortlist will be selected ahead of the night to guide the conversation, so get in early and make yours count.
