We also look forward to announcing the winner of our annual New Superannuation Lawyer Award, who will be able to attend the conference for free.

The purpose of the New Superannuation Lawyer Award is to encourage young lawyers who practice or research in the field of superannuation law to explore issues of significance that have a bearing on the legal framework for superannuation in Australia within a theme. With the longer-term aspiration of attracting new lawyers to take an interest in the field of superannuation law, this award seeks to:

• develop a new lawyers understanding in relation to superannuation and trust law;
• enable a new lawyer to attend our national conference, who might not otherwise be
• able to attend the event;
• create a platform for new lawyers with an emerging interest in superannuation to
• showcase their interest through a piece of legal writing; and
• publicly recognise and highlight the award winner as an emerging new superannuation
• lawyer.

• The person is a “New Lawyer” (that is, a lawyer in their first 7 years of practice post admission, but not at the partner level).
• Submission of a paper of up to 3,000 words (excluding footnotes or endnotes) that addresses the theme "A Rock and a Hard Place"
