Welcome to City of Sydney Law Society

2009 Annual Report

 
  The City of Sydney Law Society is a professional association of lawyers, legal academics and law students who for the most part practise their profession in the City of Sydney and nearby areas.

    We offer our members a variety of professionally-related services such as seminars, and events such as the annual Law Week breakfast. The Society represents Sydney lawyers to the NSW Law Society and when appropriate to government as well as providing opportunities for solicitors, barristers and judges to meet. This web-site will enable lawyers to join the Society, learn about and book for seminars and events and to contact us.
