About National Law Week - 14 -20 May 2012

National Law Week is an annual event aimed at increasing public awareness about the law, the legal system and the legal profession as well as educating the community about the legal services available in New South Wales.

Law Week is a registered charity administered by a board. The board is comprised of leaders from the New South Wales justice system.

Most people in NSW will come into contact with the legal system at some stage of their lives and Law Week provides advice about how to best access the law when this happens.

In addition, Law Week provides an opportunity for legal service providers throughout NSW to participate in programs and events that engage the public and highlight social issues in the community.

The theme for Law Week 2012 is ‘Law and justice in your community’.
