Legal history

The Francis Forbes Society for Australian Legal History aims to bring together scholars, lawyers and the general public interested in legal history.

Events to look forward to this year include the Forbes Lecture (September), to be delivered by the Hon Justice Margaret Beazley AO; the JH Plunkett Lecture, to be delivered by Mark Tedeschi QC; and Australian Legal History Tutorials. Membership runs from 1 July to 30 June. Download an application form here.
