Book Launch! Inside Lawyers’ Ethics

This Tuesday, I’m going to a party: It’s a launch for Christine’s book Inside Lawyers’ Ethics, which she’s coauthored with Adrian Evans from Monash Law School. The book will be launched by Louise Sylvan, from the ACCC. This party will be held at the Monash University Law Chambers in the city.

Congratulations, Christine and Adrian!

It seems to be the season for book launches. Simon Holt’s God Next Door is launching on April 19 and Matt Carter’s Minds and Computers is launching on April 23.

(Activity here on the site will be quiet as I attempt to plough through a big teaching load and rather too many work commitments…)
