Community Law Talks
Connect with the justice sector to understand more about the law and legal help.
Talks to gain insight into the Law
Twice a year we offer programs which connect the justice sector with the Victorian community.
Events are run in different community-based locations around the state to help understand more about the law and legal services.
Experts from Victoria’s courts, community organisations or other legal institutions are on-site, providing an opportunity to learn about the law and the justice system in a friendly, non-intimidating, social setting.
Types of events include informative presentations, casual drop-in clinics, or interactive workshops.
Our Law Talks are free to attend.
Eligibility
Community Law Talks are open to community-members in the local region of the talks.
