The Committee of ALPHA is organizing a series of stimulating symposia at which the Gerousia, the learned elders of our legal fraternity, will speak ("the logos") about their life experiences and/or judicial insights in the context of an Ancient Hellenic aphorism, saying or philosophicalthought.

ALPHA's 10th Symposium will be held on Thursday, 26 August 2010.

Orator: His Honour Justice Hammerschlag. Judge in the Equity Division of the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

Topic:


"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.  We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly.  We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."

Quote by Aristotle: (384 BC – 322 BC).  Aristotle was a Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great.

 

When: Thursday, 26 August 2010 commencing at 6:00pm

Venue: Hellenic Club Restaurant, Level 5, 251 Elizabeth St, Sydney NSW 2000

Cost:  $45 (Members) - $50 (Non Members).

MCLE/CPD points -

Solicitors:

The Law Society does not accredit activities for MCLEs. Solicitors may claim 1 MCLE point per hour or part thereof if they consider the symposium to be relevant to their immediate or long term needs in relation to professional development and the practice of the law. You should refer to Rule 42.1 for the criteria in assessing an activity and Rules 42.2 – 42.9 for the amount of units that can be claimed for an activity.

Barristers:

The NSW Bar Association has accredited each symposium for 1 CPD point for Barristers. As the subject matter or content of each Symposium is likely to vary, Barristers should apply their CPD point(s) to the strand that is most appropriate for the Symposium attended.
