‘It’s a lawyer’s duty to fight for justice’

Cassandra Treadwell has always had a strong sense of justice. Therefore, after a 20-year legal career, she was well placed to enter the not-for-profit space, co-founding an international aid organisation empowering impoverished children through education.

In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by former lawyer and co-founder and chief executive of So They Can, Ms Treadwell, to discuss her legal career and how it continues to inform her NFP work, the critical issues being faced and addressed by her organisation in East African countries, and how and why law can be an altruistic vocational path.

The pair also talk about the fundamental importance of education for children in developing countries and how best Australian legal professionals can give back in meaningful, tangible ways.

So They Can is a philanthropic partner of Lawyers Weekly, teaming up with the brand for our Women in Law Awards, being hosted next Thursday, 10 December 2020.
