The LIV is the professional membership association for Victorian lawyers. Membership gives you access to valuable information and support throughout your career as well as provides a unique opportunity to connect with other members of the legal profession.
New members are welcome at any time. LIV Membership fees are pro-rated during each financial year. For fee information, please contact LIV Member Services at members@liv.asn.au.

All qualified lawyers with practising certificates, whether in private practice or in corporate or government sectors can become full members of the LIV. Associate membership is available to barristers, academics, trainees, lawyers working interstate and overseas, legal executives and other professionals working in the legal industry.
Student Membership Form
When you’re just starting out, the LIV can support you as you build your legal career. Gain the competitive edge, enhance your knowledge and networks and grow with the profession through your association with the LIV. Two student member categories are available; fee paying (inclusive of LIJ subscription) and free with online access to the LIJ.
Students applying for LIV membership are required to provide proof of their enrolment in a university law course. Acceptable proof is a photocopy or print-out of the course enrolment and subjects currently being undertaken.
Practice Sections and Interest Groups?
LIV members have the opportunity to expand their professional and personal horizons and contribute to the legal community through their involvement in LIV practice sections and interest groups.
LIV practice sections provide direct access to the experience, analysis, advice and insight of a diversity of legal professionals. Sections review legislations and help develop LIV policy; they contribute to law reform and wider legal questions including practice and procedure.
LIV interest groups represent networks of legal professionals who share an interest in current and emerging issues and ideas that impact the legal sector and community. Membership of an interest group means you can help shape the future of the profession, while enjoying the opportunity of networking with people who share similar interests and points of view.
