New Institute Director Announced

The Institute has announced the appointment of Ms Terese Henning as its new Director.

Her Excellency Professor Kate Warner was the inaugural Director of the Institute and remained in this role until she was sworn to office as the 28^th Governor of Tasmania in December 2014. Her tenure saw the release of nearly 50 publications including 19 Issues Papers, 20 Final Reports and a number of Briefing Papers and Research Monographs.

Ms Terese Henning, a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University's Law Faculty, has had a long association with the Institute as a Board Member and at times Acting Director.

She has a strong track record in law reform work, including as Assistant to the previous Law Reform Commissioner of Tasmania, membership of state and federal law reform committees, the provision of law reform advice to the Justice Department of Tasmania and the Tasmanian Parliament as well as law reform research involving the investigation of the operation of Tasmanian laws with a view to their potential reform.

The Institute looks forward with great confidence to the continuation of its valuable and high quality work under Ms Henning's Directorship.
