Volunteering opportunities
Mentoring program
The Law Society's Mentoring Program is open to all those wishing to share their knowledge, skills, and experience to help one another develop and grow, from students seeking advice on how to begin their career right through to those nearing the end of their practice.
As a mentor, you can develop your leadership, coaching and interpersonal skills, gain a fresh perspective from younger members of the profession and the opportunity to impact the career development of another person positively.

Mock Law
Running since 1981, the Law Society's Mock Trial and Mediation competition aim to introduce high school students to the NSW judicial system and immerse them in a true-to-life legal experience. Participating students gain invaluable knowledge through the program, learning the intricacies of the legal system, honing their critical thinking, and cultivating their public speaking abilities. You can learn more about either competition here.
The Mock Law competition would not be possible without the assistance of volunteer members of the profession who dedicate their time and expertise to act as Mock Trial Magistrates and Mock Mediation Adjudicators. As part of the Volunteer Recognition Program, we will be featuring one Volunteer of the Month on our social media platforms and providing them a complimentary pass to the 2024 Annual Conference in October. Nominations will be open for participating schools to vote for their favourite Magistrate or Adjudicator. This volunteer of the year will be cordially invited to be a part of our 2024 Annual Dinner and Awards Ceremony in December.
If you're interested in volunteering for the 2024 Mock Law program, you can register here.
