Welcome to the ANU Law Students' Society The LSS is the representative body for ANU law students, providing a wide range of social, educational and careers-oriented programs and events. With numerous publications, forums and events, the LSS is committed to strongly representing students’ interests and keeping them updated with developments in the legal profession.
Get Involved! The LSS is always interested in having new students contribute to our activities. In 2007, the LSS introduced first year representatives to work in various portfolios in the committee. Elections for these positions will be run in Semester 1. For anyone wanting to get involved, please contact us.
Climate Law and Policy The world’s first legal research centre devoted to climate change was officially opened at The Australian National University by Environment Minister Peter Garrett in June 2008. The ANU Centre for Climate Law and Policy (CCLP) was established in response to a growing awareness of the legal dimensions of global warming.

This event is free and open to the public.

You are most welcome to come along to meet and listen to Albie Sachs at the launch of his new book, The Strange Alchemy of Life and Law. For over 50 years Albie Sachs has been one of South Africa’s leading human rights lawyers and campaigners. As a young barrister he defended people charged under racist statutes and repressive security laws, many facing the death sentence. He himself was raided by the security police, subjected to banning orders restricting his movement and eventually placed in solitary confinement without trial for two prolonged spells of detention. He spent 22 years in exile, studying and teaching law in England and in Mozambique. In 1988 he was blown up by a bomb placed in his car in Maputo by South African security agents, losing an arm and the sight of an eye.
