Asian Australian Lawyers Association launches scholarship
By Natasha Taylor|17 May 2021
The Asian Australian Lawyers Association (AALA) has partnered with Maddocks and the University of Melbourne Law School to launch the William Ah Ket Scholarship for 2021.
For the fourth year running the AALA has officially launched the William Ah Ket Scholarship. The scholarship is designed to recognise the historical contribution of William Ah Ket to the legal profession as the first Asian Australian barrister in Australia.
William Ah Ket became the first Chinese barrister to practise in Melbourne after joining the bar in 1904. William studied at the University of Melbourne and then completed his articles at the firm of Maddock & Jamieson (now Maddocks) in 1903.
