[RECONCILIATION BREAKFAST]
You are warmly invited to join us for the 2025 UQLS Reconciliation Breakfast on Friday 15 August at 7:00am. The breakfast will be held Birrunga Gallery & Dining, a Wiradyuri business operating with the permission of Uncle Eddie Ruska on the Traditional Lands of the Jagera, Yugerra & Turrbal People.
The Breakfast encourages reflection on the ways First Nations people engage with the law and legal profession, both in terms of successes and the continuing challenges. It also aims to showcase voices which may not always get to be heard, and foster connections and networks between First Nations students and legal professionals.
The keynote address will be delivered by Lorelei Billing, a Quandamooka, Bundjalung and South Sea Islander woman, born and raised in Townsville, where she is a Criminal Lawyer at the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Legal Service and previously at Legal Aid Queensland. Lorelei holds a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from the Queensland University of Technology and a Bachelor of Laws from James Cook University.
Lorelei was admitted to practice in 2015 and has practiced exclusively in Criminal Law. Lorelei is a casual lecturer at JCU in the subject Indigenous People and the Law commencing in 2022 and former President and now committee member of the North Queensland Law Association.
Lorelei was awarded the Queensland Law Society Excellence in Law award in 2023 for First Nations’ Solicitor of the Year and is committed to ensuring there is a voice and a place for our current and emerging First Nations legal practitioners in Queensland.
