The annual Hal Wootten Lecture was established in 2006 by the Faculty of Law in honour of founding dean, Emeritus Professor Hal Wootten. This annual lecture is a highlight of the Faculty's year and commemorates Hal Wootten's founding vision for the Faculty.
2020 Hal Wootten Lecture
Due to COVID-19 the decision has been made to cancel the 2020 Hal Wootten Lecture. The health and safety of our students, staff, alumni, partners and visitors is our top priority. We hope to see you on campus in the near future and look forward to recommencing the Hal Wootten Lecture as soon as it is safe to do so.
UNSW is continuing to review and monitor the COVID-19 situation and more information can be found on our COVID-19 website.
