ABOUT THE LEGAL FORECAST

As described by George Beaton, writing for the Australian Financial Review, The Legal Forecast is “a national not-for-profit run by creatively-minded law students and early career professionals seeking better ways to teach, practice and deliver law with a strong flavour of A2J. In effect TLF is taking things into their own hands to help fill the vacuum.”

The Legal Forecast is a community and rite of passage for law students and early-career legal professionals who are creative, entrepreneurially-minded and believe in challenging the status quo and re-imagining the legal profession so that it better serves society at large.

We are growing every year and currently have chapters in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Wollongong, Canberra, Adelaide and Perth.

Our members undertake their duties pro bono, for intellectual and social satisfaction and to further access to justice for everyday Australians. Additionally, we are committed to leveraging our reach and resources to support initiatives aimed at improving diversity and inclusion, and mental health.

The Law Council of Australia has acknowledged The Legal Forecast’s “significant contribution to the legal profession and the community [through] empowering new ideas and change through the lens of technology, innovation, wellbeing and access to justice.”

We are grateful to our partners and sponsors as they empower us to run The Legal Forecast professionally, inclusively and for the widest possible audience.
