Bachelor of Laws (Honours) / Diploma of Legal Practice

Lucas dedicates much of his time to serving others. At school he learned the value of servant-hearted leadership and the importance of giving voice to all sectors of the community. He has applied these principles to his time at the University of Newcastle with positions as Student Representative on the University Council and Vice President of Education of the University of Newcastle Law School. As founder and president of the University of Newcastle Poker Club, Lucas has also championed social justice causes and supported local charities like Jenny’s Place, a Newcastle-based women and children’s domestic violence and homelessness service. On completing his studies, he looks forward to upholding these values by providing access to legal services for disadvantaged people.
