The RMIT Law Students' Society hosts and competes in a number of international and national competitions which build on key legal advocacy skills.

We want to help as many RMIT law students as possible participate in inter-varsity competitions. These competitions are open to students from all over Australia and the world, and they offer a variety of opportunities for students to develop their skills and experience. Whether you want to be a solicitor, a barrister, or an academic, there is a competition for you.
