Justice Stein imparts career lessons at Young Lawyers’ Premium Breakfast

Following the event’s success in 2021, young lawyers from around the state eagerly gathered in the early hours of the morning on 21 April, 2022 to again break bread, or eggs as it was, and to gain some tips, tricks and invaluable wisdom from the guest speaker, her Honour Justice Stein.

The sold out event was hosted at Lot 10 Cucina & Bar on Market Street, allowing for an intimate morning full of wonderfully delicious food that did not disappoint, ranging from roasted granola bowls to balsamico eggs with goats cheese, alongside copious amounts of coffee.

Following breakfast, Justice Stein delivered a highly insightful speech about her career, providing advice on a wide range of topics alongside a number of very practical tips and tricks to assist young lawyers as they navigate through their inevitably challenging career ahead. Notably, her Honour mentioned the importance of setting boundaries, where possible, that distinguish between work and personal life to assist in avoiding burnout. Her Honour also highlighted the benefits of meditation and exercise to assist with, among other things, memory, stress and productivity.

A special thank you to Justice Stein for taking the time out of her busy schedule to offer her advice to young members of the profession.

The Young Lawyers’ Committee would also like to thank all of the attendees who supported the event and purchased all of the tickets; Lot 10 Cucina & Bar for hosting and for their excellent hospitality; as well as our major sponsor Burgess Paluch Legal Recruitment.
