Understanding Basic Law

Matthew and Lessli Strong, from Strong Law, Marcus Clarke Street, Canberra City, will be providing basic information about various areas and aspects of the law. As practising solicitors they are committed to providing a wide range of high quality legal services to individuals, families, and businesses.

Lessli and Matthew believe the community should have an opportunity for education which enables them to understand some of the foundations on which the law is founded and by which they are governed.

There will be opportunities to ask questions at the end of each class which will enable individuals to further inform themselves about that night’s topic.

NB **Individual legal advice will not be given because the purpose of the course is to inform at a basic level and to facilitate students continuing from there in their own research**.

Guest speakers from specialised areas of the law will be invited throughout the duration of the course to add their expertise to various topics.

Topics to be covered will include:

The development and purpose of Australian law.

An overview of Family Law

Debt recovery

The effect of Powers of Attorney and Wills

The responsibilities of home owners, insurance companies and the effect of claims
