Sir Francis Burt Oration
The annual Sir Francis Burt Oration honours the founder of WA’s Independent Bar, the late Chief Justice and Governor, Sir Francis Burt. The inaugural oration – The Law in a Climate of Change – was first delivered in 2019 by the Hon Robert French AC, the former Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia.
In 2020, the former President of the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Western Australia, Carmel McLure AC QC delivered a very timely oration entitled The Rule of Law Under Pressure in an Age of Disruption. Her challenging and insightful presentation can be viewed here.
