PUBLICATIONS IN 2021

Meet the 2021 Publications Officers, Ashton and Ciaran.

The Publications Officers are responsible for delivering you all of the amazing publications the QUTLS distributes each year, including the one you’re reading right now!

Ashton Darracott

Hi everyone! My name is Ashton and I’m one of your Publications Officers for 2021! I am now in my sixth year of a Bachelor of Law/Bachelor of Creative and Professional Writing degree. This mixture should be a good indication that I like to read and write! My dream for the QUTLS publications in 2021 is to expand the range of material we publish and increase the quantity of material published (without compromising on quality, of course) so that all of our valued QUTLS members have ample opportunities to engage with the QUTLS. My personal goal is to make the 2021 publications as accessible as possible to both contribute to and consume. My whole schtick is that stories are vitally important and always worth telling. I want to make submissions as un-intimidating and as simple to do as possible because I want to be able to give you an opportunity to say something you think is important. Also, who doesn’t want to be able to tell potential employers that they have been published? I am so excited to come on board this year in order to bring to you more Torts Illustrated editions, The Fortnightly newsletters, the First Year Survival Guide, the Careers Guide, the Benchbook, The Law Review, and more content on our various social media channels!

Ciaran Greig

Hi there! My name is Ciaran and I can’t wait to be QUTLS Publications Officer in 2021. I’m starting my fourth year of my Bachelor of Fine Arts (Creative Writing)/Laws.

I would love to see a greater variety in the content we put out in our publications. I have a sneaky suspicion that law students are a deceptively creative bunch and I would love to see more submissions of short stories, poetry and creative non-fiction. I believe it is crucial for law students to have a space to express themselves, as well to reflect on other student voices and perspectives.

Overall, I’m super excited to be a part of a team creating engaging, helpful and inclusive content for all law students in 2021.
