South Brisbane’s Saint George Greek Orthodox Church was awash with robes, wigs and sashes earlier this month, with the inauguration of Queensland’s law year for 2015.

Conducted annually, this year the service was officiated by Reverend Father Anastasios Bozikis and Archiepiscopal representative Vicar General of Queensland, Reverend Father Dimitri Tsakas.

The procession, which took place on 3 August, was composed of various members of the legal profession including judges, magistrates, commission and tribunal members and academic staff.

The state’s Honorary Consul for Greece, Jim Raptis OBE, together with President of Saint George Parish community, Michael Anasatas, welcomed the governor of Queensland, Paul de Jersey AC, and other law officials.

The first reading was given by the Honourable Justice Anthe I Philippides, followed by the Honourable Justice Margaret McMurdo AC, president of the Court of Appeal.
