Kim Koelmeyer is the epitome of someone who is boldly carving out their unique place in our profession. She is ambitious, kind, interested and interesting and it has been an absolute pleasure to see Kim create her own niche in Legal Communications and proceed with her career journey according to her own values and goals. Kim studied Law and Journalism at Deakin Law School, graduating in 2020. While she loved the law, she also loved writing and storytelling, her experience in CLCs made her realise that there was an imperative for diverse voices and perspectives to be celebrated in the legal profession. So, she founded the hugely successful and impactful Law In Colour. Kim pursued a Communications Graduate role with the State Government and she recently landed a dream, ideal role for her at Justice Connect as Communications Lead where all her passions and experiences are combined. In this honest conversation, Kim and I discuss: - Her law school experience - Why missing out on seasonal clerkships and a legal graduate role was the best thing that ever happened to her - Why she started Law in Colour - How social media can be used to promote social justice - What she has learned through interviewing so many legal POC for LIC - Juggling PLT and full time work - How she does it all - Her advice to others I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation between friends and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities of where your legal career may take you.

In 1888, five gruesome murders shocked the civilized public. A bloodthirsty killer was on the loose in the slums of London. The world was on the lookout for Jack the Ripper. Scotland Yard never found their man—or so they said publicly. The police knew the killer's identity but concealed it to save the ruling class from embarrassment. Hainsworth & Ward-Agius deliver a thoroughly researched and gripping tale that solves the great Whitechapel murder mystery once and for all.

Change is hard. Most people are more comfortable resisting change than making it happen. So, in organisations that have embraced different, new, and continuous improvement, how did they do it? What's the “secret leadership sauce” that inspires teams and motivates change? Is one leadership style better than others? What do these leaders do when they hit a brick wall? How do they approach failure? What are the characteristics of these great transformational leaders? In this podcast, Alison Laird, Director, Laird Innovations Pty Ltd and CLI Advisory Board member, facilitated a roundtable discussion with legal leaders who have transformed their legal businesses and shared their experience on how they made that happen: Kate Fazio, Head of Innovation and Engagement, Justice Connect; Caryn Sandler, Partner + Chief Knowledge and Innovation Officer, Gilbert + Tobin and Co-chair of the CLI Advisory Board; and Laura Vickers, Principal, Nest Legal This session was part of the CLI-ALPMA Innovation and Legaltech Week 2021 Live program on 8 February 2021.

In Australia, as elsewhere, COVID-19 is creating a surge in the demand for legal help, especially among low-income individuals, as people face job losses, evictions, bankruptcy, domestic violence, and end-of-life issues. Further complicating the situation there is that parts of the country are still recovering from the bush fires that only recently were extinguished. With face-to-face legal help not possible, technology is a critical tool and effective tool in meeting the demand for help, as Justice Connect, an Australian legal services charitable organization, is demonstrating. In recent years, it has developed a number of innovative tools to help people get legal help and understand their legal rights. Our guest this week is Kate Fazio, head of innovation and engagement at Justice Connect. A former corporate lawyer, she leads the organization’s development of online and technology tools to increase access to justice and legal empowerment. In addition to its COVID-19 resource center, Justice Connect’s technology includes an online intake and referral tool, a cloud-based case management system, a Pro Bono Portal matter distribution system that they are working to expand globally, and the newly launched Justice Connect Answers, which allows people to ask discrete legal questions and receive quick, confidential answers from attorneys.

Small Biz Matters – a half hour program each week where you can work ON your business rather than IN it.with Alexi Boyd from Boyd Office Management ServicesDate: 27 November 2018 The Legal System. Small business owners should probably understand it more than we do but we only start diving into it in worst case scenarios. We engage with legal experts only when we NEED it and hope to never have to. But like all the hats we wear, it’s a good idea to arm yourself with knowledge before it happens rather than when its upon you, or worse still when you have buried your head in the sand and it engulfs you. Today’s program is all about doing just that. When should small business understand family law? As business owners, our finances, relationships, and family are all tied in with our work. When that structure breaks down it is disastrous not only for you personally but for your business. Today’s guest Zoe Durand is an author of the book Inside Family Law - rare & candid conversations with those at the coalface of the family law system. An expert in her field working in the family law system for over a decade specialising in mediation. She is joined by Mark Lipsen from Hall Chadwick and here to share their experiences, knowledge and tips of dealing with the mess when small business and family law collide. Welcome to the show Zoe & Mark. Topics we’ll be covering: Overview - the fact that a business can be part of the asset pool and the duty to fully disclose all financial documents. The process for valuing a small business including the parties agreeing on an expert, step by step how the expert business valuer/ forensic accountant will value the business, methodology, documents to the valuer and the valuer meeting with the parties. What if you disagree or want to challenge a business valuation - adversarial experts, cross examination of the expert valuer Discussion of possible options if both parties were involved in the business. Should both parties remain in the business after separation? Or safe guards that can be put in place should one party step back from the business. The Court's cross referral powers - ie the fact they can refer parties to the DPP and ATO if there has been tax fraud (I have seen this come up sometimes in matters where small businesses are involved). I.e. one should always be 'squeaky clean.' Tracking hidden monies / assets. About the Book - Inside Family Law - rare & candid conversations with those at the coalface of the family law system Inside Family Law opens wide the behind the scenes real world of the family law system. It is the first family law book to offer readers never before published interviews with those who work at the coalface of family law throughout Australia.

Narrate rounded out the final leg of MRelay 2016/17. Storytelling is a tool for knowledge generation and cultural transmission. The telling of one’s personal journey can be used to share cultural history and create social cohesion. This session provided a speaker’s corner for the city, a platform for ideas to be heard and stories to be told. It was opportunity to hear from ethnically and culturally diverse voices, ages and genders. Here we investigated digital storytelling, personal and architectural narratives. Our questions were: How can new technologies encode narrative, strengthen identity and build community? With the rise of artificial intelligence, we explore what it means to be human. Narrate was hosted by Karen McCartney, writer and editor extraordinaire. Speakers included Aric Chen, curator of art and design at M+; Sam Cooney, publisher of The Lifted Brow; Jill Garner, Victorian Government Architect; Candy Bowers, actress, social activist; Adele Varcoe, producer and fashion designer; Kenny Pittock, Melbourne-based visual artist; and Lucy Adams, manager of homeless law at Justice Connect.
