Lawyers for Change is a not-for-profit organisation that exists to assist lawyers and non-lawyers to explore what is possible through alternative approaches to the practice of law and to the creation of laws.

We help lawyers explore their hidden potential and their capacity to make a difference through their work.

This website aims to inform people about the organisation and facilitate participation in its development at whatever level people are able or willing to be involved.

Our values:

• we put principles first
• we are authentic in the practice of law beyond
• we strive for balance
• we deliver value
• we make a difference to our communities.

We run our organisation on the basis of being:

• democratic, transparent and participatory in decision-making
• non-profit making
• inclusive (i.e. lawyers, clients, students, teachers, all are welcome to participate)
• non-confrontational in communication (i.e. we get our message across without attacking people
