In our modern society, the law and legal process directly reflect our community standards, and any young person moving into this profession is expected to uphold those principles. It has been said that, “The law is never static, [but] is always changing, being interpreted or redefined as regulators and judges strive, with varying degrees of success, to ensure that the law constantly reflects changes in society itself.” Many young lawyers recognize that they also have a role in this process, to strive for justice and equity both for those for whom they act and by extension to the broader community.
The Websters Lawyers Award for “Achievement in Law” seeks to identify those young lawyers who have embraced the unique position they are in to not only help individuals with their legal issues, but also to further the public good. From acknowledging that everyone is equal and all deserve the same chance to get legal justice in a fair way, to championing a legal cause for the greater good of society, they use their talents and skills to contribute to the growth and development of our society.
As a local firm with strong community values, Websters Lawyers is proud to support the Young Achiever Awards and to recognise the accomplishments of our State’s young lawyers and encourage their continued development.
