About the Centre

The CLE Centre was established in 1997, with an office in Macquarie Street Sydney, and offering a year-round programme of seminars in the State Library of NSW, across the road. Since 1998, we have worked in association with the Faculty of Law at the University of Technology, Sydney. Our programme regularly includes seminars on: Conveyancing and Property Law Planning and Environment Law Wills and Estates Evidence and Procedure Personal Injury Litigation Family Law Commerical Law Employment Law Corporations Law Commercial Litigation and Taxation Papers from our seminars are generally available to purchase separately, and most of them can be e-mailed to you if you ask.
