The WSLA covers the suburbs in Melbourne’s west from Footscray to Williamstown to Melton to Sydenham. We meet for dinner in either approximately every six weeks from February through to November in both Footscray and Sydenham. Our dinners provide a fantastic opportunity to meet with local practitioners, enjoy a fantastic meal and gain two CPD points. Throughout the year our speakers cover a wide range of issues including ethics, family law, criminal law, property law to name but a few. However, we always welcome suggestions from members on topics that are of interest to them. If you have a suggestion, we encourage you to contact our Secretary. Similarly, if you would like to present to the WSLA, we also encourage you to contact us.
