To be eligible for the Australian Young Lawyer of the Year Award, a nominee must be a young lawyer (under 36 years) or an early-career lawyer (admitted for a period of five years or less) who has made a continuous and outstanding contribution to the profession and the community.

To be eligible for the Australian Young Lawyer Organisation Award, a young or early-career lawyer organisation must have substantially implemented a program relating to professional or community issues during the 2022–23 financial year.
