Women in Law Career Panel

Are you interested in working in government? Or perhaps in the private sector? Have you dreamed about becoming an associate for a judge?

Women Lawyers Association ACT and ANU Women In Law Organisation invite you to join us for a 'Women in Law Career Panel' on Monday 20 August, from 6:30-7:30pm at ANU.

Our panellists come from a range of backgrounds, and aim to show you that there is not one set path following the completion of a law degree. We welcome you to our first joint event which will include a panel discussion, audience Q&A, followed by informal networking.

  • Rori Moyo is a Legal Officer in the General Litigation & Corporate Law Section at the Department of Foreign Affairs. Prior to this she was a judge's associate in the General Federal Law Division in the Federal Circuit Court.
  • Kat Yang is a lawyer in the Mergers & Acquisitions team at King & Wood Mallesons. Prior to this she was in the Corporate Legal Division at the Department of Jobs and Small Business, where she handled litigation and administrative law matters. 
  • Tori Cumner is a Government Lawyer in the Workplace Relations Legal Group at the Department of Jobs and Small Business. Tori did not get a single clerkship or graduate job offer but has still managed to secure a full time, ongoing position as a lawyer. 
  • Farzana Choudhury is the Program Manager and Solicitor of Street Law, a program of Canberra Community Law that provides free legal assistance to people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. In this role, she works closely with community and other agencies, to ensure that vulnerable Canberrans’ legal needs are being addressed through advice and casework services, court representation, community legal education, and policy and law reform.

This event is free but we ask that you please register.
