"Inspiring Justice: Empowering Communities with James Olsen and Langdon Bradley"

We're excited to invite you to an exclusive evening with two of our most distinguished law alumni, James Olsen and Langdon Bradley. Join us as they share their incredible journey and unwavering passion for pro bono work.

James and Langdon have dedicated their growth to community-focused legal work, providing essential services to those who can't afford private legal representation. Langdon assists individuals across a range of issues, while James undertakes government-funded legal aid work. Their commitment to improving access to justice, a cause championed by the Chief Justice, highlights the importance of pro bono in supporting marginalised and vulnerable communities.

This is a unique opportunity to reconnect with fellow alumni, gain valuable insights and discover how AUT graduates are leading grassroots advocacy efforts to increase access to justice.

We look forward to seeing you there!
