Committee Overview

The LAWASIA Family Law & Family Rights Committee (formerly Family Law & Family Rights Section) was formed for the following reasons:

• To establish a vehicle for the free interchange of information between the lawyers of LAWASIA about developments in the area of Family Law and laws protecting human rights of families and children;
• To advocate for the human rights of families and children; and
• To provide lawyers of the Asia Pacific region with greater access to, and input in, the formation of international treaties and laws relating to families and children.

The Committee arranges a biennial Family Law and Children's Rights Conference which has become a must-attend event for both lawyers and their industry partners in the child justice sector.
