St George-Sutherland

About Us

The St George-Sutherland Regional Law Society is an incorporated association dedicated to furthering the best interests of its members and to upholding the ethical standards and public status of the legal profession.

Its members comprise current and former practising members of the NSW legal profession who work and/or live in the St George-Sutherland area and law students. Membership is open to individuals meeting these criteria.

The association organises 5 dinner events throughout the year which feature academic presentations from members of the legal profession and presentations from guest speakers such as barristers, members of the legal profession and Judicial Officers who vividly recount their stories and experiences of practising or presiding over the law. CLE points are available for those who attend the CLE presentation before the dinner meeting.

The association has a number of sub-committees that meet regularly to listen to presenters and generally discuss work in their respective areas of the law. These sub-committees include Family Law, Real Property Law, Criminal Law, Commercial Law and Succession. It’s a great way to get to know other practitioners in the area and to accrue CPD points. These events are usually free to attend.

The association also has an active Young Lawyers section and Young Lawyers’ functions are held periodically, in addition to the members’ dinner meetings.

Being part of the association allows for the frequent exchange of views and ideas between members on matters affecting them in the practice of their profession.
