This is the MLN's Victorian Facebook Fan Page and is for the purposes of feedback and interaction between lawyers, law students and general members of the Victorian Muslim community and the Muslim Legal Network. The Muslim Legal Network is a gateway for all Australian Muslim law students to engage with a wider community of lawyers and fellow Muslim students. It grants an avenue for those in the legal profession to engage with the minds of Australian Muslim Law Students and provides students with insight and advice regarding their future professions. The network also provides for the sharing of community concerns that may require action from the network as a representative body.

On 25 and 26 August 2026, Muslim Legal Network President Jazeer Nijamudeen and Treasurer Sam Bektas represented MLN at the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Oceania Regional Partnership Consultation with Muslim Communities, held in Fiji.

The consultation brought together Muslim community leaders and IsDB regional executives to examine the challenges facing minority Muslim communities across Oceania and consider practical steps to strengthen community institutions, expand economic opportunity and promote regional cooperation.

Rising Islamophobia, strengthening civic participation and improving pathways to economic opportunity and development were among the important themes discussed. The conversations highlighted the value of strong community institutions, institutional capacity and sustained cooperation between professionals, community organisations and regional development partners.

MLN’s participation reflects its commitment as an Australian professional legal network to contributing to regional conversations about access to justice, community wellbeing and sustainable institutional development.

Our delegation shared MLN’s experience and priorities, learned from organisations working across the region, and explored opportunities for initiatives that respond to the legal, economic and institutional needs of minority Muslim communities.

We thank the Islamic Development Bank for convening this valuable consultation and extend our sincere appreciation to the Fiji Muslim League for its generous hospitality and for hosting the gathering during its remarkable centenary year, marking 100 years of service to Fiji’s Muslim community.

MLN looks forward to building on the relationships and shared insights developed through the consultation.

If you would like to participate in, partner with or support MLN’s growing community-building programs, we invite you to follow our page and connect with us.

The digicam was working overtime this year 📸

From the presentations to the post-AGM photo shoots, it captured every bit of this year’s Annual General Meeting. Thank you to everyone who came out to reflect on the year that’s been and celebrate what’s ahead!!

Earlier this year, we relaunched the Muslim Legal Network’s Mentoring & Internship Program with a simple purpose: to create meaningful connections between emerging Muslim legal professionals and those already established in the profession.

A few months in, we’re proud to share a glimpse of what MIP has been building. ⚖️

MIP creates space for the conversations, guidance and connections that make navigating the legal profession that little bit easier.

A good match goes a long way.

Some have met over coffee, some over Teams, some at the office, but each one started with two people willing to connect 🤝

But don’t just take our word for it.

The best measure of MIP isn’t a number, it’s what our mentors and mentees are getting out of it.

Here’s what they had to say. 💬

There’s room for you, too.

Whether you’re an experienced legal professional with knowledge to share, or a student or graduate looking for guidance as you find your feet in the profession, we’d love to hear from you.

EOIs are open for both MIP mentors and mentees.

MIP, out in the wild. ☕️💻

Coffee catch-ups, office visits, virtual chats and everything in between.

Turns out mentorship doesn’t need to be complicated - sometimes it really does start with a conversation.

Here’s to many more. 🤝

Networking doesn’t have to be complicated ☕️

Sometimes, it really is just about showing up, having a good conversation and being open to where it might take you.

Save this one for your next coffee chat.

Swipe to see some highlights from our Trivia Night 💙

We were honoured to hear from Iman Osman, whose keynote reminded us that being in the minority should never limit our ambition. Her reflections on resilience, purpose, and pursuing excellence in the legal profession left a lasting impression. Thank you, Iman, for sharing your wisdom and inspiring the next generation of Muslim legal professionals. A thank you to our platinum sponsor Pathway Property for their generous support.

A special thank you to our wonderful MCs, Houda and Ali, who kept the energy high, the laughter flowing, and the competition lively throughout the evening. We couldn’t have asked for a better duo!

A coalition of Muslim organisations has released a joint statement in response to the Government’s proposed approach to racism complaints in Australian universities.

The statement calls for consideration of the Dehumanisation Framework as a consistent, evidence-based approach to protecting all students and staff from racism and discrimination.

Behind the scenes from MLN’s second volunteer meetup 💙

From World Cup games and food, to mafia and loads of conversation, it was such a lovely opportunity for our volunteers and team members to connect once more outside the usual pace of organisational work ✨

We’re incredibly grateful for the people behind MLN and the energy, ideas and community they continue to bring to the organisation.
