Jones enjoys his dual role with the University saying it allows him to make connections between his colleagues in practice and the University's staff and students while still practising day to day legal practice.

"Working at CQUniversity has been a great highlight to my career" he said.

"I've had the pleasure of working with some creative and talented people in a variety of roles, forging links between the University and the legal community. There is a lot of interest in the law program amongst the practising profession and part of my role has been to engage with them and answer their questions."

Jones is a member of the Society of University Lawyers and the Queensland Law Society's Government Lawyers Committee, as well as being a continuing member of the Queensland Law Society.
