Organisation

NSW Young Lawyers has its own Constitution, Assembly, Office Bearers, Executive Council and administration team.

However, the majority of our projects, activities and events are coordinated by 14 Committees, each representing different aspects of the law.

Assembly

The Assembly is responsible for managing the affairs of NSW Young Lawyers and setting its policy direction. The Assembly meets twice a year, usually in May and November.

Delegates to the Assembly are appointed by the President of NSW Young Lawyers in consultation with the President of the Law Society of NSW and include representatives of regional law societies, the NSW Bar and other professional and student associations.

Executive Council

The Executive Council is responsible for the management and implementation of Young Lawyers projects, activities and Assembly resolutions and assists in the planning of the Continuing Legal Education (CLE) program for NSW Young Lawyers.

The Executive Council meets once a month and comprises the Office Bearers plus 10 Councillors elected by the Assembly. The Executive Council assists in the day-to-day management of Young Lawyers but does not have the power to rescind Assembly Resolutions.

Committees

The Committees are the foundation on which NSW Young Lawyers is built, providing members with opportunities for professional development and social networking, and a platform from which they can initiate community projects, participate in and shape law reform.

Each committee has a Chair who is either appointed by the NSW Young Lawyers President or elected by the members of the Committee.

Administrative team

Young Lawyers has a team of four administrative officers to assist with the planning and coordination of all core activities and events as well as providing secretarial support for the 14 Committees.
