Nota Bene
It is our great pleasure to present the 2023 edition of Nota Bene – the magazine of the University of Queensland Law Alumni Association.
As with previous issues, the aim of Nota Bene is to celebrate and document the accomplishments of UQ’s law alumni community, as well as showcase the activities of the UQLA and the Law School during the course of the year.

This year’s edition includes a number of different feature articles.
It commences with an article by UQ law alumnus Eugene H White, reflecting upon his 50 years as a UQ law graduate and on the involvement of UQ law alumni in the community and pro bono legal sector.
We also have the privilege of featuring an interview with another alumna, Her Honour Judge Pauline David of the New South Wales District Court, on her Honour’s time at UQ and her career in the law as a specialist in transnational crime, anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing and human trafficking. We are grateful to Catherine Morgan for interviewing Judge David for Nota Bene.
Near the end of the last year, the UQLA was pleased to learn that our President, John McKenna KC, and the Hon Anthe Philippides SC had been awarded honorary doctorates by UQ. John’s address at the conferral of his LLD is included in this year’s issue of Nota Bene. On the topic of speeches, our guest speaker at this year’s Annual UQLA Breakfast was lawyer and novelist Joanna Jenkins. Joanna’s entertaining and thoughtful reflections on her time as a law student at UQ are also reproduced in this issue.
The 2023 edition also reports on the re-establishment of the Macrossan Lecture (delivered in March 2023 by the Hon Hugh Fraser KC), provides details of new UQLA scholarships, and includes profiles of Law School staff and PhD candidates, together with other news from the Law School.
