SA Law Week 2026 is fast approaching: 18 - 24 May.
After the great success of Law Week in 2025, we look forward to again celebrating SA Law Week with you in 2026 with an even bigger and better program of activities!
Across Australia, Law Week is recognised as an annual opportunity to shine a spotlight on the important work delivered across the legal assistance sector while increasing public knowledge of the law and how to access legal help.
In 2025, Legal Services undertook a period of consolidated activity to highlight the important legal assistance we and the broader legal profession provide for the community. Check our calendar below
