Several committees of NSW Young Lawyers have researched and written free guides, helpful booklets and pamphlets aimed at both young and new practitioners.

NSW Young Lawyers has standing positions on law and justice policy issues that are of importance or interest to its members. Those positions are published in the form of policy statements. Policy statements are prepared in close consultation with the members of NSW Young Lawyers, to ensure that those positions are reflective of the views of the membership as a whole.

The following policy statements have been developed to assist NSW Young Lawyers' Committees to prepare submissions and media releases:

• Access to Justice
• Law Reform

Submissions
