About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Join us for an insightful presentation with Lorelei Billing from ATSILS as she explores the complex relationship between Indigenous people, crime and punishment. This seminar will look into the historical and systemic factors contributing to the overrepresentation of First Nations people in the justice system, the ongoing challenges they face and the meaningful reforms that are making a difference. Whether you're a law student, legal professional, or simply passionate about justice, this is a valuable opportunity to gain expert insights and be part of the conversation on creating real change.

Lorelei Billing is Quandamooka, Bundjalung and South Sea Islander woman, born and raised in Townsville, where she is a Criminal Solicitor at the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Legal Service. Lorelei holds a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from the Queensland University of Technology and a Bachelor of Laws from James Cook University. Lorelei has practiced exclusively in Criminal Law and is committed to ensuring there is a voice and a place for our current and emerging First Nations legal practitioners in Queensland.
