The Blackstone Society, the UWA Law Students' Society, is the peak representative body for students studying law at the University of Western Australia. Established in 1928, we represent approximately 1,000 students across the Faculty of Law.
For students, the Society runs a wide range of events across social, careers, education, equity, wellness, competitions and prelaw portfolios and advocates for law students at the university, state, and national levels
For the legal profession, the Society is the conduit between students and firms, non-governmental organisations and government departments. We publish current opportunities to students, an annual careers handbook showcasing the diverse experiences of law graduates, and maintain a database of legal and professional service firms.
For the community, Blackstone runs a myriad of social justice and volunteering programs and facilitate the placement of a number of law students in a number of not-for-profit organisation.
Acknowledgment of Country
Blackstone would like to acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of this country throughout Australia, and their strength, resilience and connection to land and community, most especially to the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation upon what land we live, work and study. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.
