1987

Overview

Transcription of speech given by Hon. Sir F. Burt at the opening of the Sir Francis Burt Law Education Centre 29 April 1987. Four pages, typed with double spacing on white paper in capital letters with heading, 'LAW CENTRE'. Handwritten in pen above the heading is, "Speech by Sir Francis at the opening - 29 April, '87".
In the speech Sir Francis, who was at the time the serving Chief Justice of Western Australia, spoke about the importance of conveying to young people some understanding of the social importance of the law and how it operated in our society. He thought the Law Centre located at the Old Court House should be regarded as an idea rather than a place.
