Ann-Maree champions the idea that the law is fundamentally a service profession so the more diverse the profession, the better we can serve clients from all walks of life. We talk about how the face of the legal profession has changed since she began 40 years ago, why young lawyers should feel comfortable being themselves at work and how we can tackle that niggling imposter syndrome.
Ann-Maree has worked across public and private sector roles and is now leading legal education as an Executive Director at the College of Law. She was previously a founding director of the Australian Gender Equality Council, is the immediate past President of Australian Women Lawyers and in 2018, won the Agnes McWhinney Award.
