    The objects of the Committee are to:

    1. to promote and assist professional development for Young Lawyers;
    2. to facilitate discussion and conversations in relation to issues affecting Young Lawyers;
    3. to advance and promote the interests of Young Lawyers;
    4. to support Young Lawyers; and
    5. to assist the Society and its other committees by participation in Society's committees, undertaking research and surveys of its members and preparing reports for Council.

    We are a subcommittee of the Law Society NT, and have a representative on the Society's Council. In addition, we have a representative on the Australian Young Lawyers Committee of the Law Council of Australia, which ensures young lawyers' issues are promoted at a national level.
