Full house and the AGs message was helpful and inspirational. Law is hard but a legal career can also be amazingly rewarding. Don’t take it personally, be resiliant, you need to be tough. But you also need to have fun or you won’t last the course. And you only get better and more experienced if you hang in. It was super important that Judith came and supported the inaugural New Zealand Asian lawyer awards. Asian lawyers felt seen. And inspired by her track record. Important giving their growing numbers in the law especially amongst the ranks of those with less than seven years post qualification experience. Thank you AG given your mad and busy schedule! And thanks also to Sir Anand Satyanand for chairing the judging panel for the inaugural Asian lawyer awards. Russell McVeagh hosted fantastically as always. Thanks #Joewindmeyer #mattkersy #craigshrive Thank you #NZLS for partnering. Taryn Gudmanz spoke so well! And the winners! #TinaLiu (Tompkins Wake) and #RobbBautista (Lawhub).

This evening I attended the awards ceremony for New Zealand Asian Lawyers. I met many lawyers and particularly younger lawyers. My messages: law is difficult. Lawyers ask the questions that others don’t want to. Lawyers take instructions and act on them. Hold your integrity and ethics. Never give in to bullying and always support your fellow lawyers when they are criticised for doing their job with courage. Hold your head high and know that our profession is an honoured profession that helps maintain our cherished democracy. There were also quite a few selfies! 😊
