Michael Murray wasn’t sure he wanted to be a lawyer, particularly not after he failed two subjects in his first semester. But that was before he decided to buy into the university experience and give “making it as a young lawyer” all he had. We talk about what young lawyers can do to best prepare for life as a lawyer, the benefits of engaging in community law and local district law associations.Michael is now a supervising solicitor with Townsville Community Law, academic and lecturer at James Cook University and the winner of the QLS Young Lawyer Award for 2020.If you were inspired by Michael’s advice, you may want to check out your local community legal centre and your local district law association.Special thanks must go to Zoe Navarro, Ella Thomas, Rebecca Murray, Eve Anderson, Geoff McLeod, for their contributions to the production of this episode.To read a transcript of this episode: https://www.qls.com.au/Membership/The-Hub/PodcastsTo find Michael: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-murray-530860146To find Georgia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgia-athanasellis-21713715aTo find more content for young lawyers, visit The Hub: https://www.qls.com.au/Membership/The-HubTo contact the Future Leaders Committee email: [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
