The Graduate Research Student Group in Law was established in 2001 to
- Discuss issues relevant to the research interests of graduate research students;
- Foster a collegiate spirit amongst graduate research students; and
- Represent the research interests of graduate research students in appropriate forums.
The Graduate Research Student Group is a student-led supportive network that meets regularly and organises social events. In addition to discussing issues affecting graduate research students, meetings may include a presentation by a graduate research student, a staff member or a visitor on a topic related to graduate research enrolment. Members of the HDR cohort are also welcome to attend staff morning teas that are hosted by the Faculty every six weeks.
