Who we are

Since 1996, the Western Sydney Law Students’ Association has been the home for law students across Western Sydney University.

We are a student-run association that exists to support members from their first lecture to their first role in the profession — through competitions, education and careers, inclusion and diversity, and our own publications. Everything we do is built and run by students, for students.

Representing Yourself: Understanding Self-Advocacy and Inclusion in the Legal Profession
Aug
25
Representing Yourself: Understanding Self-Advocacy and Inclusion in the Legal Profession
Western Sydney University Parramatta City Campus
16:00 – 18:00
Brought to you by the Law Society and WSLSA Social Justice team. This event will explore the realities of power dynamics, inclusivity and diversity in academic and professional settings.   From understanding holistic safety and finding your own professional identity to self-advocacy and defining the parameters of your social responsibility, this session combines social justice theory and practice by looking beyond tokenistic gestures and “one-size-fits-all" approaches.  This event will include an opportunity to build your confidence and apply these skills in a guided world-café style discussion, leaving participants with the language and practical tools to communicate boundaries and needs, and raise concerns in the real world.  Light Refreshments provided. Location: Level 9 Conference room 4 WSU Parramatta City Campus Start Time 4pm. 
2026 Competitions Awards Night

2026 Competitions Awards Night
Western Sydney University Parramatta City Campus, Level 9, Conference Room 3.
18:30 – 20:30
Join us for the WSLSA Competitions Awards Night as we celebrate the students, volunteers, judges and mentors who have contributed to an outstanding year of competitions. The evening will recognise the achievements of competitors across the WSLSA competitions program, including mooting, negotiation, client interviewing, dispute resolution and other practical legal skills competitions. It is an opportunity to acknowledge the hard work, courage and professionalism of students who stepped into the courtroom, negotiation room and beyond to develop their skills in a supportive and engaging environment. The Awards Night will also celebrate the broader competitions community and the important role it plays in building confidence, collegiality and professional development among Western Sydney law students. We look forward to coming together to reflect on the year, recognise student excellence, and celebrate the continued growth of the WSLSA Competitions Portfolio.
