I congratulate each of the recipients of the 2024 LIV awards. Each of these LIV members have shown an extraordinary commitment to service within the LIV, the legal profession and the wider community. They provide compelling demonstrations of the impact and influence that individuals can make with their voluntary contributions, and I thank them for their dedication and work.

I also congratulate the winner of the Paul Baker Award, Sanmati Verma, for her dedication and pursuit of social justice and their inspiration to others across the legal profession and our community.
