Law Week is an annual event organised by the Law Week Committee, in conjunction with the SA Institute of Justice Studies and the Law Foundation. With collaboration and contributions from both public and private sector organisations, the comprehensive program of events is designed to promote greater community understanding of the legal system and justice related issues. The theme for Law Week this year is Getting the Balance Right.
A mock trial to set the tone for Law Week
Law Week 2008, will see a trial replace the traditional Law Week Debate. The mock trial on 8 May 2008 will debut Law Week with further activities to follow from Sunday 11 May. For more information on the trial and other Law Week events visit www.justice.net.au/law_week.htm.
Opening the door on the Courts
The Courts Open Day will take place on Saturday 10 May, from 10am to 3.30pm. This popular annual event is run by dedicated volunteer staff of the Courts Administration Authority, with assistance on the day from associated justice agencies.
This year is the 10th Courts Open Day and the public will be invited to view areas usually ‘out of bounds’ to the public including court rooms, and cells, as well as viewing an historical exhibit. Justice-related agencies including Legal Services Commission will provide displays and information about their role in the justice system.
