John Kable Memorial Tasmania University Scholarship In Law

This scholarship is provided by the estate of the late John Kable QC, a noted Tasmanian barrister.

John was a terrific sportsman and student, graduating from the University of Tasmania with a law degree in 1975. He went on to forge a career as a prominent barrister in Launceston and Hobart. In 1995 John died suddenly from a heart attack aged only 42. Mrs Kable was profoundly affected by her son’s death and for the next 20 years supported the Heart Foundation as a donor and by becoming heavily involved in fundraising events.
