Congratulations to Kate Eastman SC ('84) for her appointment as a Member of the Order of Australia for significant service to law, human rights and to professional organisations.

We wish to acknowledge Karen Robinson ('86) who in May was appointed as a Judge to the District Court of NSW, after numerous years as a Barrister and then Magistrate in Local and District Courts.
