Criminal & Family Law Association

The Criminal and Family Law Association (CFLA) is a student organisation based in the Melbourne Law School. The aim of the CFLA is twofold. Firstly, to provide students at the Melbourne Law School with access to opportunities and information regarding careers in criminal and family law. Secondly, to provide events and initiatives that are designed to educate, inform, and engage the student body on legal issues in criminal law, family law and the intersection of these two practice areas. To achieve these aims the CFLA is informed by the need to promote discussion, research and engagement with criminal and family law; paying particular attention to raising awareness of the over-incarceration and structural injustices faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia.
