Young Lawyers' Events
As our largest membership group, this dynamic section of the LIV regularly hosts events, competitions, talks and programs for junior lawyers in city, suburban and regional locations. Find out more about Young Lawyer events.
Practice Area and Interest Group Events
The LIV regularly holds events which focus on developments and issues within specific areas of the law, or bring together lawyers working in similar areas of the law. Given that there is an incredibly diverse range of lawyers, the LIV also brings together like-minded lawyers via tailored events for groups such as community lawyers, indigenous lawyers, law students, and women lawyers, just to name a few.
