Welcoming Dr Sergio Sulmicelli to Sydney Law School 👏

As the new Colin Phegan Lecturer, he’ll help prepare students for a legal profession being reshaped by AI.

This role is made possible by the generosity of alumnus Tom Yim (LLB ’73) - inspired by his own experience as a student learning that in law, it’s not just the outcome that matters, but the reasoning behind it.

Now, that legacy continues - supporting the next generation of lawyers to think critically in a rapidly changing world.
