The Lawyers Reform Association (N.S.W.) was launched on 10 April 1989 at the Sydney University Law School and ceased to exist in 1997.
The Association aimed to promote the interests of consumers of legal services, provide a voice for lawyers and would-be lawyers and work towards a legal system where access to justice is not determined by an individual's financial resources.
