- Law Week 2008 Seminar: Policy and Law Making - How is it done, and how to be involved?
More than 60 people attended our Law Week Event, making it a great success. If you would like the Powerpoint slides from the seminar please click here. Helen Ting's guide to writing submissions to government is also a useful resource for those who want to be involved in the law reform process, and is available here.
Thanks to the Law Society of NSW and Young Lawyers for sponsoring this event.
- Jury Selection - Law Reform Commission Report 117
The Law Reform Commission's Report 117 Jury selection has been released for public consultation. The Commission makes 74 recommendations concerning jury selection, and other jury-related issues, including:
- developing new criteria for selecting and disqualifying jurors, and the grounds upon which potential jurors may apply to be excused from service,
- improving jurors’ pay, conditions, facilities and amenities,
- improving protections for jurors’ employment, and
- reviewing penalties for failure to attend jury service.
An electronic copy of the report is available from the Commission's website (click here).
