From 1 July, the Victoria Law Foundation will launch its 2021/22 grant program. Here is an overview so you can start planning.

We have been working hard to get our Public Understanding of Law Survey (PULS) ready to go into the field.

The Public Understanding of Law Survey (the PULS) is now at the pilot stage and will be entering the field shortly, once COVID restrictions ease and we are able to conduct face-to-face interviews.

Thanks to everyone who attended an activity last week, whether it was a face to face session, consultation or an online event. We hope that you found it relevant, informative and practical.

Our Public Understanding of Law Survey is almost in the field, and we aim to speak to 6,000 members of the Victorian public to understand their experience of law from the bottom-up.

Discover how the law affects your life, find answers to your legal questions and meet the people who resolve your disputes and enforce our laws during Victorian Law Week, 17-23 May 2021.

Victoria Law Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of this year’s Community Legal Grants.

The projects that were supported this year demonstrated potential to make a significant contribution to the community and legal sectors through investigation of a legal issue.
