Exhibitions
Since the success of its inaugural exhibition, Women in the Law in Queensland, in 2000, the SCQL has developed a program of scholarly and topical exhibitions, which are displayed in the Rare Books Precinct, level 2 of the Law Courts Complex, Brisbane. In recent years, popular exhibitions have been toured to regional courthouses, including Townsville, Cairns and Rockhampton.
Exhibitions are open to members of the legal community and public – admission is free.
