About us
Formed in April 2000, the Family Law Committee was established to give young lawyers who are interested in or practice in family law a forum to share news and views.
Since then the committee has gone from strength to strength.
Our objectives
The objectives of the NSW Young Lawyers Family Law Committee are:
- To provide professional education in family law for the whole profession by organising CLE seminars as part of the NSW Young Lawyers CLE program.
- To proactively monitor and respond to proposed changes in family law including commenting on proposed legislation, making submissions to governments, courts and other organisations on various issues relevant to family law as they arise.
- To organise meetings, seminars, publications and public forums on issues relating to family law.
- To provide a forum for young practitioners to discuss issues of concern to them.
- To provide a peer support network for young practitioners and practitioners in the first 5 years of practice involved in family law.
- To promote issues which are of relevance and concern to young lawyers.
- To promote NSW Young Lawyers’ activities and enhance the image of NSW Young Lawyers.
