Be part of Victorian Law Week

To be accepted into the Victorian Law Week program, your event must:

• take place within Victoria
• Improve the Victorian community’s understanding of the law or the legal system
• be designed for individuals or small businesses
• be open to the public.

The full event criteria

We take your privacy seriously. When collecting and storing information as part of Victorian Law Week, we will follow the principals set out in our privacy statement.

This information will be displayed on your event listing in the program and in promotional material. The blurb contains your event name, description and the learning outcomes of your event.

When writing, consider your target audience, including appropriate language and what will make them want to attend your event.

Consider your choice of words

It’s easy to assume that the language you use every day is generally understood, but that’s not always the case. For example, ‘family law’ is an industry term, while words such as ‘divorce’ or ‘relationship breakdown’ are much more easily understood by much of the community.

We might edit your blurb for clarity. We’ll let you know if we do this.

Event name (3 - 5 words)

Make your event name short, sharp, catchy and easy to understand. Make sure you use terminology that your target audience understands. For example, the term ‘elder abuse’ may be understood by aged care workers, but not necessarily by older people themselves.

Event description (100 words)

Tell us about your event and the people you are running it for. A sentence or two describing the purpose of your event and the value for people in attending.

Also add what attendees will learn about the law or the legal system by attending your event. This helps when thinking about the impact of the event in helping people to understand and access the law.

The region will help us target our media and promotion to specific parts of Victoria. If running an in-person event, let us know the venue and the address.

Number of event sessions

Some Victorian Law Week events are run on several different days or at different times across the week. If your event is delivered multiple times across the week, let us know when the start and end times are for each session.

Accessibility measures

We are committed to access and inclusion for all people. We strongly encourage Victorian Law Week Event Organisers to consider what they can do to enable full participation by all people in their event.

Each Event Organiser is responsible for the ticketing and booking of their event. We ask you to provide the best way people will reserve their place or book tickets to the event.

We ask for ways to contact you in case we have questions about your event submission.

These contact details will be displayed in your event listing on our online program. It’s there so that people can contact you if they have questions about your event.

Alternative public contact

The public contact is usually the Event Organiser. If there is an alternative contact person, you can add them.

These contact details will be displayed in your event listing on our online program. It’s there so that people can contact you if they have questions about your event.
