The Progressive Law Network (PLN) are a not for profit volunteer organisation. The PLN was founded in 2010 by a group of Monash University Law students frustrated by the lack of information and facilitation for students wishing to pursue progressive career paths. Our aim is to become a whole-of-profession organisation linking professionals, students, advocacy organisations and community groups to ensure that passionate and dedicated practitioners find their way to work that is meaningful and rewarding, and that effects positive social change. www.progressivelawnetwork.org.au
