About Us

With more than 9,500 members, NSW Young Lawyers is the state’s largest body of young and newly practising lawyers, and law students.

Active, innovative and dynamic, we support practitioners in the early stages of their career development, giving them the opportunity to meet, work together, expand their knowledge, advance their career and contribute to the profession and community.

Membership is free and automatic for all NSW lawyers under 36 years and/or in their first five years of practice, and law students.

Through our Continuing Legal Education (CLE) activities, we are able to support the development of programs for the benefit of both the legal profession and the community at large.

Further details on our organisational structure can be found in this section, along with profiles on our leadership team. Our mission statement and objectives can be found in our Constitution.
