New Series

In 2023, a new Macrossan Lecture series was established by the UQ Law School and the UQLA, with annual lectures delivered in the Banco Court of the Supreme Court of Queensland at the beginning of the academic year.

The first lecture in the new series was delivered by a member of the extended Macrossan family, the Hon Hugh Fraser, a former Justice of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland.
