Where law meets life
It's a wrap on Law Week!
This year, Victorian Law Week brought people across the state together for a rich program of practical, community-based events about everyday issues where the law can make a difference.
Throughout the week, thousands of people found opportunities to learn more about their rights, better understand everyday legal problems and find trusted information and support.
This we had 141 unique events about housing, work, family, money, consumer problems and other issues that affect people every day. Events were held in local community settings and online, making it easier for more people to join in, ask questions and connect with help close to home.
If you missed an event or simply want to catch up, the on-demand program has event recordings and all our on-demand content.
We are already looking forward to next year, so keep the 17- 23 May 2027 free.

Everyday problems can be legal problems
The law can intersect with life in many ways such as your home, work, relationships, where you live or what you buy.
Sometimes problems are easy to deal with. Other times they can feel confusing, stressful or overwhelming.
Many everyday problems can be helped with legal information or advice. You don’t need to know whether your problem is “legal” to get started.
Steps to solve legal problems
When we have a legal issue, one of the hardest parts of getting help is knowing where to begin.
If you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed or not sure where to start, you’re not alone.
A week for all Victorians
Victorian Law Week is an annual week of community-based events to help Victorians to identify their legal problems, learn how the law works and get the right help to solve legal problems.
Events and activities are run by a range of legal, community and government organisations with the program managed by Victoria Law Foundation.
