Student societies

The Monash Law Graduate Students' Association (MLGSA) represents the interests of graduate students within the faculty. Students are encouraged to support the association.
The Monash Association of Graduate Students (MAGS) represents all graduate students and is concerned about their welfare. Graduate law students are represented on the MAGS Committee. MAGS has an office situated in the Union building.
