Bill Kordos presented with Law Institute of Victoria’s Award of Distinguished Service

·

The Law Institute of Victoria (LIV) has announced that Bill Kordos has been recognised with the Law Institute of Victoria’s Award of Distinguished Service.

The Distinguished Service Award is LIV’s most prestigious awards, as no more than five are granted in any one year, across all legal practice areas. 

The LIV Board can recognise individuals who have rendered significant and distinguished service of a high degree to the LIV or the legal profession over an extended period of time.

Mr Kordos has expressed his excitement in receiving LIV’s significant accolade, “I am both humbled and proud to be recognised for this award.”

Mr Kordos’ career in the legal industry began in 1988 when he was admitted to practice, after completing a Bachelor of Laws from Monash University. During his time as a legal practitioner, he has set up and been a Coordinator for the Duty’s Solicitors Scheme at the Melbourne Family Court and has been a Board Member at Victoria’s first legal services centre representing children.

As a former Alternative Dispute Resolution Portfolio Holder and former Member of the LIV Court’s Practice and Education Committees, Mr Kordos has rendered significant service to LIV and the legal profession. He is a former chair of the LIV’s Family Law section and a current member and mentor.

Mr Kordos, an Accredited Specialist in Family Law, has also taught law at a tertiary level and has represented the profession before standing committees of Parliament in relation to the introduction of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. 

All recipients, including Mr Kordos, were presented their awards by the LIV on October 15 at the RACV Club in Melbourne.
