Red Wine for Justice
Red Wine for Justice is held every two years. The event held on Friday 23 August 2024 was our most successful yet raising over $100,000.
Red Wine for Justice 2024 was a tremendous success thanks to all who either donated wines and prizes, participated in the bidding or came along to enjoy the night.
We are grateful for this overwhelming support to raise such a significant amount to help LawRight supplement its services to ensure no one is denied justice because of their financial position.
We would like to acknowledge and thank all our donors, bidders and supporters, our auctioneer, Yianni Mooney and our hosts, Herbert Smith Freehills who all helped to make Red Wine for Justice 2024 such a resounding success.
Public Interest Address
LawRight’s Public Interest Address (PIA) for 2021 was delivered on 25 October by the Hon. Susan Kiefel AC, Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia and celebrated 20 years of pro bono through LawRight.
A copy of the speech is available here.
Since 2002, the PIA has canvassed Guantanamo Bay concerns, immigration detention, civil justice reforms, public interest litigation and the role of lawyers in environmental, mental health, child protection and First Nations community challenges.

Queensland Legal Walk 2020
The Queensland Legal Walk is held annually in May on the Tuesday of Law Week. In 2020 the walk was held on Tuesday 19 May.
2020 is a year like no other, and the 2020 Queensland Legal Walk was like no other Walk.
Funds raised from the Walk help to:
- grow our health justice partnerships, which put lawyers into health settings to assist vulnerable people experiencing complex social and legal problems; and
- replenish the Disbursement Fund, which helps clients of pro bono lawyers and community legal centres to cover expenses associated with their legal matter.
