Newly appointed Solicitor-General, NSW barrister Mr Stephen Gageler SC, will be part of the high profile speaker list at the upcoming Future of Federalism conference.
Jointly hosted by UQ’s Centre for Public, International and Comparative Law at the TC Beirne School of Law, and the Law Council of Australia’s European Focus Group, the event will take place between July 10-12.
Mr Gageler will commence his term as Australia’s next solicitor-general in September, with his experience in constitutional law providing great insight for his conference address “The Federal Balance: cases and judicial attitudes in the High Court of Australia”.
In addition to Mr Gageler, the organising committee has assembled a distinguished panel of experts who will discuss a range of topics including the Rudd government’s vision for the future of Australian federalism and papers focusing on the distribution of powers and fiscal arrangements in Australia.
CPD points are available to conference attendees and registrations are closing soon.
Online registration and a complete list of the conference speakers and program is available at www.fedcon2008.net
