In Conversation
Victoria’s public legal figures share their experiences and discuss hot-button issues.
What are the Conversations?
Every year until 2019 we invited a leading legal mind to discuss critical issues facing our justice system for the VLF Law Oration.
In 2022, we revised this model, and it became a conversation - exploring current matters, but also getting the speaker’s perspectives and experience in the law
The Conversations offer Victorians an insight into the critical issues and the people who lead our justice system. You can subscribe to our newsletter to hear about for future public events and booking details.
