The Law Handbook 2015

Your practical guide to the law in Victoria

The Law Handbook 2015 contains a summary of the areas of law that most often affect people in everyday life. It is designed for people who want to be better informed about the law and more self-reliant in using it. The Law Handbook is also a useful resource book for people with many different interests - lawyers, teachers, students, community workers - or people who simply have an interest in a particular area of law. The Law Handbook 2015 has been updated by over 80 legal experts to reflect changes in many areas of the law including the new Mental Health Act, new driving offences, an explanation of how the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities impacts on different areas of law, disability services including the new National Disability Insurance Scheme, as well as updated advice directories for legal and financial services.
