Join Our Community
ICJ Victoria is a member-based volunteer organisation, guided by an Executive Committee. ICJV membership is composed of Judges, Magistrates, Solicitors, Barristers, Legal Academics and law students committed to the implementation of international law and human rights in Victoria.
ICJV output depends on the advice, research, time and expertise of its membership to develop submissions and identify topical issues for comment.
Our membership structure
At ICJ Victoria, there are two types of membership:
Supporter — This is ideal for people who would like to support ICJV’s advocacy and initiatives, attend our events, but do not have time to participate in our ongoing advocacy and research projects.
Member — This is best suited for people actively seeking to engage with international law and human rights issues in Victoria. You will join a global community of like-minded lawyers. You’ll also get the chance to contribute to ICJV’s work. This includes drafting submissions, providing research assistance, reviewing drafts of advocacy papers on areas of law in which you may be an expert, offering advice and welcoming our visiting guests.
All supporter and member fees are paid on an annual basis. If you have any questions, contact executive@icjvictoria.org.
