Australian Legal Convention
19–21 August 2027 | Canberra
The Law Council of Australia, together with the Council of Chief Justices of Australia and New Zealand, invites you to attend the Australian Legal Convention 2027 in Canberra.
This national gathering is open to all members of the justice system in Australia: the judiciary, tribunal members, legal academics, and barristers and solicitors from private practice, public practice, the legal assistance sector, and law students.
The Convention will provide a forum for up to 1000 attendees to discuss the issues facing the justice system, and will set a trajectory towards formulating practical solutions to challenges of national significance and concern.
