CORRECTION
In the story A good 12 months
for law reform in South Australia
(lumen, Spring 2017), we used
the wrong name for law graduate
Sarah Brown, who was featured in
the main photograph and in the
breakout comments piece on the
following page. We apologise to
Sarah Brown, as well as to Sarah
Moulds and our readers, for the
mistake. It has been corrected in
our online version of the magazine.
