Annual Phillipa Weeks Lecture
Wednesday 25 February 2026, 5:30pm - 7:00pm
Moot Court, ANU Law School

Given each year in memory of the late ANU Law School Professor, Phillipa Weeks, this annual lecture is delivered by national and international experts highlighting key issues in the area of labour law.

This year's lecture will be delivered by the Hon Justice Michael B J Lee of the Federal Court of Australia. Titled "Ethics, Advocacy, and Professional Responsibility in Industrial Law", this lecture examines the professional obligations of advocates practising in industrial law, with particular attention to the risks posed by partisan alignment.

The Hon Justice Michael B J Lee is a Judge of the Federal Court of Australia, appointed in 2017, and an Additional Judge of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory. Before his appointment, his Honour had a distinguished career as a solicitor and barrister, developing a nationally significant practice that spanned complex commercial litigation, class actions, defamation, and major public interest and constitutional matters. Widely respected for his breadth of experience, Justice Lee has also contributed to legal scholarship, public policy, the arts, and sporting charities alongside his judicial work.

Australian lawyers are warmly invited to take part in Mental Fitness in the Law, a free resilience training and research program developed by Macquarie University.

The training component focuses on strengthening the mental resources needed to manage the demands of legal practice through structured self-reflective writing. This process helps translate stressful work experiences into practical coping insights.

The six-week program involves:

  • an initial workshop to introduce the three resilient capacities that underpin mental fitness
  • a mental fitness manual grounded in resilience theory for ongoing reference
  • five short, structured self-reflection writing sessions to actively build your mental fitness
  • two individual check-in sessions to personalise your learning
  • a final debrief workshop to consolidate your learning
  • research activities (including surveys and qualitative analysis of reflections) in contribution towards the research objective of strengthening resilience in lawyers.

Participation is time-efficient, delivered online, contributes to CPD requirements, and is offered at no cost in recognition of participants’ involvement in the research component. Learn more and register here: https://mqedu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cTlaDcbs1uJ6A7Q
