New grants for legal projects

The Legal Services Board invites applications for grants for legal projects.

The Board’s grants are available in two rounds – Round 1 applies to projects with a budget of up to $50,000 and Round 2 applies to projects with a budget of over $50,000 (major grants).

Applications for the Project Grants funding round will open later this year.

The grants are available from the Board administered Public Purpose Fund, which includes funds from a number of sources including the interest on solicitors’ trust accounts and income from investments. With the approval of the Attorney General, the grants can be used for:

• Law reform
• Legal education
• Legal research
• Any purpose relating to the legal profession or law that the Board considers appropriate.
