Police Officer, ADF Captain to Barrister - Emmanuel College - Celebrating our Alumni

Nathan Laing was recently featured in Emmanuel College’s alumni show case.

The Article reads:

Nathan first undertook a Diploma of Justice Administration from Gold Coast Institute of TAFE. Following this qualification, he was accepted and graduated as a Police Constable in the Queensland Police Service.

Since then, he has completed a Bachelor of Laws (Hons), Bachelor of Arts and a Post Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from Bond University, and upon graduation, practiced as a solicitor and consultant.

After putting his legal career on hold, Nathan served as a Captain in the Australian Defence Force for seven years and during this time also undertook the Bar Exams. He was later offered a place in the Queensland Bar Association Bar Practice Course. Having successfully completed that, Nathan is now practicing law as a Barrister in Brisbane.

“Emmanuel provided me with solid foundational instruction on being an upright citizen, having the confidence of belief, the ability to be critical and the encouragement to aspire to my dreams”.

N.b. Nathan served in the Australian Defence Force for seven years and left as a Captain, having held that rank for approximately two years, commissioning first as a Lieutenant for three years, and Sub-Lieutenant prior to this.
