Student Successes The TC Beirne School of Law at The University of Queensland has a reputation for attracting some of the best and brightest students from Australia and overseas. More than 2,000 students were enrolled in the School’s undergraduate and postgraduate programs in 2008 and 2009. Many of these students achieved outstanding success in a number of areas. Rhodes Scholarships Rhodes Scholarships were founded in 1902 under the will of the late Cecil John Rhodes and are tenable at the University of Oxford. Candidates must be aged between 19 and 25 years and be citizens of the country from which they are selected. The qualities set out by the late Cecil Rhodes for those seeking Rhodes Scholarships include academic and intellectual excellence, integrity of character, respect for fellow beings and a capacity for leadership. Since teaching began at the TC Beirne School of Law in 1936, 25 graduates have been awarded Rhodes Scholarships. In 2008 and 2009, three former students carried on the proud tradition. 2008 Queensland Rhodes Scholar Anna Kloeden was awarded the Queensland Rhodes Scholarship for 2008. Anna graduated from UQ with a Bachelor of Arts (Chinese) and Bachelor of Laws and was awarded a University Medal in 2008. She discovered her passion for human rights law while working as a volunteer at a Chinese orphanage on a UQ Study Abroad program. After her exchange experience, Anna became a regular volunteer at the Anti- Discrimination Tribunal and her local church, where she taught English to Chinese immigrants. Anna took up her Rhodes Scholarship at the University of Oxford in September 2009, focusing her Master of Laws research on how to strengthen the trade links between Australia and China without compromising the human rights of those involved. 2008 Australia-at-Large Rhodes Scholar Robert Mullins was the second Law student to win a Rhodes Scholarship in 2008 and joined fellow UQ Arts/Law graduate Anna Kloeden at the University of Oxford to undertake a Masters of Studies in English Literature. Robert was a runner-up in the Queensland Rhodes Scholarship but his application was felt to be of sufficient merit for him to be nominated to go to Canberra for an interview with the Australia-at-Large Scholarship Committee. At the interview, Robert had to respond to questions on a range of topics, from politics to individual aspirations to sporting achievements. He was also asked about his volunteer work as Regional Youth Coordinator with St Vincent de Paul during 2004-2005 and a refugee tutoring program he helped to start for university students. Once his studies at Oxford are completed, Robert hopes to pursue a career in academia and is particularly interested in teaching and promoting Australian literature. 2009 Queensland Rhodes Scholar Winner of the 2009 Queensland Rhodes Scholarship was Caitlin Goss. Daughter of former Queensland Premier Wayne Goss, Caitlin’s brother Ryan (also a School of Law graduate) was the 2007 Queensland Rhodes Scholar and her grandfather, Konrad Hirschfeld, was the 1927 scholar. Caitlin graduated from UQ with a Bachelor of Arts (first class honours) and Bachelor of Laws and was awarded a University Medal in 2006. Her work experience with the Australian Law Reform Commission showed her how law reform could have an impact on the community through improving the laws surrounding issues such as medical privacy and the sentencing of criminals. Caitlin is undertaking a Bachelor of Civil Laws at Oxford to expand her knowledge of post-conflict law reform and hopes her studies will allow her to help set up new legal systems in countries recovering from war. 2008 Sir Harry Gibbs Scholarship Emmanuel College student Simon LaBlack was the first recipient of a scholarship in honour of former High Court Chief Justice Sir Harry Gibbs. The Scholarship covered Simon’s residential fees at Emmanuel College while he studied for a dual degree in law and journalism. Simon was awarded the scholarship because he made a great contribution to college life and scored highly in areas valued at Emmanuel such as academic achievement, intellectual creativity, community spirit and teamwork. He was also an active student, editing a student newsletter, playing bass, tenor and side drum in the College pipe band and competing in AFL, soccer, rowing and distance running. The idea of a law scholarship arose following discussions between Sir Harry and Emmanuel College Principal Adjunct Professor Stewart Gill shortly before Sir Harry’s death. The shared vision was to provide a full residential scholarship Caitlin Goss Robert Mullins Anna Kloeden TEACHING AND LEARNING TC Beirne School of Law Biennial Report 2008-2009 | Page
