et us start by thanking Sarah Strzelecki and the 2020 committee who showed some great strength through an ‘unprecedented’ and ‘challenging’ year (feel free to insert your favourite 2020 buzzword)... From the rolling red hills of the Alice, to the (at times not-so-bustling) streets of Darwin, the 2020 committee took online mediums within their stride finding new and innovative ways to ensure that our young lawyers had access to CPDs and support in a jurisdiction where isolation and distance work was already a work place hazard. Fortunately (and again proving that the NT really is the place to be), our young lawyers were back in action with over 100 people attending our trivia fundraiser at the end of last year.
Annual General Meeting and 2021 Committee
The current committee is excited to bring back a number of events that were missed last year, including the sunset sail! This event has previously been a big hit and has completely sold out. Due to COVID restrictions, the committee will be looking into bigger and better boats to accommodate as many young lawyers and their friends as possible. Whilst the NTYL won’t be going quite as big as the ‘Ruby Princess’, members and friends should remember that the event will be ticketed and to keep an eye on our Facebook page to ensure they don’t miss out on tickets.
