We aim to support and represent all postgraduate law students, fostering a social, intellectual and professional community.
And we hope that the website - as a hub of information and resources - will play a central role in the achievement of that aim.
If you have any questions or thoughts whatsoever, please don't hesitate to get in touch. There are full contact details along with a brief bio of every current member of the committee under the "your committee" tab on the left. But you can also send an email to our general address - law-plsa@unimelb.edu.au - or drop by and say hi either at the monthly Thursday night Open House or at the PLSA Office (Rm 627) between 2.30 and 4 every weekday afternoon.
