About our conferences

Each year, Legal Aid NSW delivers a program of professional development conferences for lawyers across civil, criminal and family law. These events are a cornerstone of our continuing professional development (CPD) offering and are designed to support lawyers working in New South Wales with practical, relevant and high quality legal education.

Our conferences bring together leading judicial officers, senior practitioners, Legal Aid NSW specialists and subject matter experts to explore current issues, legislative developments and best practice in the delivery of legal services. They are highly regarded across the profession for their practical focus, jurisdiction specific insight and relevance to frontline legal work.
