Ashleigh Buckett

As a dedicated human rights lawyer with over a decade of experience in Australia and internationally, I am currently serving as a Principal Solicitor at the National Justice Project, a renowned social justice law firm. My career has been marked by an unwavering commitment to strategic litigation and advocacy, focusing on areas such as securing urgent medical care for refugees detained offshore and pursuing accountability for systemic racism and discrimination within police, prison, and healthcare sectors. My efforts extend to seeking justice and reform through international treaty bodies. In addition to my practice in human rights, my previous work in international legal policy and international criminal law has further enhanced my legal acumen, allowing me to operate effectively on a global scale. Beyond my current endeavours, I am passionately exploring climate action initiatives and actively expanding my expertise in this increasingly critical area. My career reflects a deep dedication to using the law as a tool for positive change and social equity.
