Student Legal Education Group

sleg is a non-profit, non-government organisation that exists to engage, educate and empower members of community through law-related education. sleg was rebranded in 2014 from schools legal education group reflecting the extension of the program to cater for local & regional community groups, as well as high schools. unsw law students are known for their unwavering commitment to social justice and a long legacy of working with disadvantaged groups. sleg seeks to ensure everyone is empowered with the basic legal knowledge and awareness of their rights. we promote the integration of law-related education in schools and local & regional communities. the modules also seek to debunk some of the commonly assumed ‘myths’ about key areas of the law, and to promote a critical engagement with basic legal material. they are presented by small groups of volunteers in a manner, which emphasises personal engagement and active participation.
