Becoming a committee member is a valuable way to give back to the legal profession, shape policy and law reform, and build strong networks across diverse areas of practice. Committee membership is an exclusive benefit available to Law Society members.
The Law Society supports more than 30 active committees made up of member volunteers and ex-officio representatives from organisations with specialist knowledge in key areas of law and professional interest. We also facilitate committees that represent specific cohorts, including young lawyers and regional practitioners.
How to get involved
New committee members are appointed every two years through our Biennial Review process, during which expressions of interest are invited to fill half the membership of each committee. The next Biennial Review will take place in the second half of 2025.
Further details will be shared on this page and in our Friday Facts newsletter closer to the date.
In the meantime, if you’d like to learn more about committee work and how to get involved, contact us at advocacy@lawsocietywa.asn.au.
