Joshua Creamer and Kara Cook Excellence in Law Award
2022 – 2025 Donations
Litigation Lending supports the Joshua Creamer and Kara Cook Excellence in Law Award scholarship which aims to increase the number of female Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander barristers practising at the Queensland Bar through promoting and encouraging excellence in the study of law.
Griffith University law alumni Joshua Creamer and Kara Cook have established this award because they understand the impact a law degree can have in the world.
First Nations women are severely underrepresented across the legal profession. There are only two First Nations women at the Bar in Queensland among the state’s 1164 barristers in the state and 254 of them being women. Across Australia, there are only two First Nations judges – Judge Matthew Myers AM (Federal Circuit Court) and Judge Nathan Jarro (District Court of Queensland) – and there are no First Nations female judges.
Joshua Creamer and Kara Cook want to support excellence among First Nations women in law and ensure they reach the highest levels of the legal profession.
