Balancing law and life. Law firms have been transformed as a result of mergers, incorporation and listing on the stock exchange. The centrality of competition and globalisation has jeopardised any possibility of a work/life balance. This project will examine the tensions in trying to effect a balance for lawyers expected to work 24/7.
The trailblazing women and the law project. The trailblazing women and the law project will create, showcase and analyse the first publicly accessible, national, oral history of seven decades of Australia’s pioneer women lawyers contributing to the fields of gender, oral history, biography, law, citizenship, social networks, cultural informatics, ePublication and women’s history archiving.
