Lawyers come in all shapes and sizes.
It is difficult to make decisions about which direction to go in your studies, and in your career, without a clear picture of what lawyers do on a daily basis. This half-day forum is proudly hosted by the NSW Young Lawyers Careers Committee. A public forum proudly brought to you by the NSW Young Lawyers Human Rights and Criminal Law Committees. Prisoners are a sector of society that can be often overlooked or forgotten when it comes to rights issues. The forum will explore prisoner's rights against a climate where all major political parties want to be seen as tough on law and order issues, when the development of technologies such as DNA sampling are taking off, and in an environment in which problems such as sexual harassment in prisons remains unsolved.
