Justice French’s lecture is one of many special events organised in 2013 to mark UWA’s centenary and is part of the UWA Gives Back program, in which University staff and students visit regional WA to acknowledge the important role played by the people of WA in UWA’s history.
Justice French AC, CitWA, is the first Chief Justice from WA. He graduated from UWA in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science in Physics then stayed at the University, earning a Bachelor of Laws in 1971. He was President of the University’s Liberal Club and also treasurer of the UWA Student Guild.
His lecture, 'John Forrest - A Founding Father of the Nation, A Favourite Son of the State', is part of the UWA Faculty of Law’s centenary celebrations in the Peel region.
The Faculty invites members of the legal profession, teachers, students and members of the public to attend the lecture. The evening’s program also includes Winthrop Professor Peter Handford of the UWA Law School, who will speak on the History of the Law School from 1928 to the Juris Doctor.
