After practising law for the last four years, most recently as a junior barrister, Shannon Buckley has decided to complete the graduate diploma in secondary education this year to become an English and religion teacher in a Catholic school.  Shannon enjoys writing, reading, playing tennis, and walking her dog around the water most nights.  She is passionate about making young people think about some of the philosophies, both good and bad, that pervade modern society and underpin legislation and societal change.  She is also getting married at the end of 2011, so is enjoying planning her wedding, but is hopefully not a ‘bridezilla’ yet…
