Legal Service (AGLS) Conference 2021
The inaugural AGLS Conference will be held virtually on Thursday, 14 October 2021.
The Conference theme, DNA of a Government Lawyer, highlights the strong bond between technical legal expertise and people skills in modern legal practice – being the two separate but interlinked skill sets that are essential for government lawyers. The Conference will explore the features and qualities essential to the practice of every government lawyer, and aims to provide attendees with exposure to cutting edge legal expertise and insight into important fields such as emotional intelligence and resilience.
