We are committed to supporting our communities by contributing to law reform and shaping policy at a local and global level.

We understand the value of building strong partnerships with the communities that surround us. We are dedicated to sharing our expertise and supporting social justice causes.

Our research is closely aligned to current political issues and contributes to public debate. We strive to bring about meaningful change and development to the laws that affect our society.

• Legal Internship Program - students undertake internships for course credit in the areas of public service, public interest, and public law.
• Sydney University Law Society (SULS) social justice programs 
• Law clinics and electives - students work with a range of organisations through our law clinics and other electives.

Academic visits

Our academic staff and students can visit schools to:

• make presentations on studying law
• visit schools to deliver presentations to students interested in pursuing a career in law
• provide curriculum enrichment on law and be involved in school career events. 

Widening Access to University

We are actively involved with widening access to university, an initiative that seeks to address the under-representation of students from low socio-economic backgrounds, rural communities and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
