The long-running awards recognise outstanding print, broadcast, and online journalism that contributes to the public’s understanding of justice, the legal system, and access to justice issues.

There are 15 categories this year spanning print and online journalism, broadcast journalism, court reporting and student journalism, as well as categories for the best reporting on human rights, social justice, climate justice and international justice issues.

The competition is not open to legal publications or journals primarily intended to be read by lawyers, or textbooks published for lawyers or law students.

More information on category eligibility, submission tips and the entry form are available from the Law Society website.
