Join us for the Inter-diversity moot 2026!

Interested in joining our moot team or joining as a coach or mentor? We’d love to hear from you! Get in touch if you’d like to be involved.

Back for 2026 WLANSW, DWL, AALA, PLAN, Pride in Law, and Ngalaya join together to take part in another Inter-Diversity Moot Competition.
Join us for a night of great debate and hot takes on diversity!

Over three rounds of mooting, our competing diversity Associations will argue their points for and against for the following topic: Does traditional courtroom etiquette create a barrier to diversity and inclusion in the legal profession?

Come hear the arguments our colleagues put to the Judging Panel and find out who will walk out the victor! Following the moot’s conclusion there will be canapés, refreshments and an opportunity to network with our participants and their guests! 2024 was a thrilling evening and we anticipate 2026 to be just as good!

For the competitors: On Thursday, 8 October 2026 an online information evening to provide our mooters to provide guidance on how the evening will run. Links and details to follow.

We had the pleasure of hosting A Night at the Museum: Pasifika Collections at the Australian Museum in late May 2026.

The Australian Museum gave us a private tour of the Museum’s Pasifika Collections, we had an insightful keynote address by The Honourable Justice Hament Dhanji of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, and interactive cultural activities facilitated by the Australian Museum.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening celebrating the connection between law, culture, and Pasifika heritage. It was wonderful to see our members and we appreciate everyone who attended and contributed to making the event such a success.

A special thank you to The Honourable Justice Hament Dhanji for sharing his insights and the Australian Museum for co-hosting the event with us!

Well done to our mooters from Ngalaya Indigenous Corporation, PLAN, Asian Australian Lawyers Association, Pride in Law, Women Lawyers Association of NSW and Diverse Women in Law who debated on the topic, Diversity adds value to the practice of law.

Congratulations to our mooters from Diverse Women in Law who took 1st place, Asian Australian Lawyers Association who took 2nd place, and Women Lawyers Association of NSW who took 3rd place.

It was a tough debate and each team did a fantastic job!

Special thanks to The Honourable Justice Dhanji, The Honourable Justice Yehia and The Honourable Justice Faulkner who generously volunteered to judge the moot.

We would also like to thank Hon. Andrew Bell, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of NSW, and his team (Edwina and Nathan) for use of the Supreme Court as well as the Law Society of NSW for general and moral support.
