The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria, Anne Ferguson, herself a former Supreme Court Prize recipient, commended the state’s top law graduates.
“The final year of study is always the most challenging. The class of 2020 have faced more than obstacles than most and should be commended for their determination and resilience,” Chief Justice Ferguson said.
“The profession adapted incredibly well to virtual hearings last year, so graduating students should be well placed to hit the ground running in this increasingly technology-driven legal world.
“I hope our Prize recipients and all graduates celebrate this milestone, alongside those in their educational institutions and social groups who inspired and helped them achieve it.”
