ALSA Results Are Out!
A special congratulations to our Championship Mooting and our Client Interviewing Team for breaking into the
semi-finals for their respective competitions, and to Nicole Mazurek for making the Grand Finals for the Paper
Presentation competition.
We are also very proud to announce that UNSW Law Society won Best Equity Publication for our Social Justice
publication Court of Conscience. A big congratulations to Katerina Jovanovska, current Vice-President (Social
Justice), and Jacqui Fetchet, 2013 Vice-President (Social Justice), and to Katerina’s editorial and legal research
team! UNSW Law Society was also highly commended for its community initiatives, in particular for the LawSoc fights homelessness initiative which ran in April 2014; and we were also highly commended for our new
online initiative, the Poetic Justice blog.
