Canberrans are being called upon to deepen their knowledge of the law as the ACT prepares for its annual Law Week.
Running 16 to 23 May, the week includes a range of events to promote public understanding of the law and its role in society. The theme for 2025 is "exploring law, engaging communities, inspiring change".
Attorney-General Tara Cheyne said with the government in the process of progressing important reforms, Law Week provides a timely opportunity for the community to learn more about the justice system and how it works.
"The law intersects with almost every aspect of our lives, although many of us don't think about it until it affects us personally. Law Week is a chance for us to reflect on our unique legal system and acknowledge its important role in our society," the Attorney-General said.
"Australia's legal system is one of the key elements that ensure we live in a free and fair society that finely balances individual rights and community safety.
