Legal Capability Matters: New PULS insights to improve access to justice

Join us for an in-depth exploration of insights from Australia’s most recent large-scale survey into how people understand, experience and engage with law, with practical implications for legal services and policy makers in NSW.  

How can addressing legal capability – people's skills, confidence and attitude towards law – positively transform access to justice in NSW? 

The seminar unpacks key findings from the latest two volumes of the Victoria Law Foundation’s groundbreaking Public Understanding of Law Survey (PULS) to show how legal capability is key to improving access to justice outcomes for communities across NSW, including examples from current good practice models. 

Hear from the PULS research leads: 

• Professor Nigel J. Balmer, Research Director, Victorian Legal Services Board 

• Dr Hugh M. McDonald, Research Director, Victoria Law Foundation 

Whether you work in the legal assistance sector, the courts, pro bono legal services, private practice, the community services sector or social policy, don’t miss this opportunity to discover how legal capability can inform your work to improve justice outcomes for people experiencing legal problems.
