Acknowledgment of Country

Blackstone would like to acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of this country throughout Australia, and their strength, resilience and connection to land and community, most especially to the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation upon what land we live, work and study. Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.

Blackstone’s Publications

The Society has a number of publications

  • The publication focuses on promoting the physical, mental, and study/career wellbeing of law students by providing a mix of practical advice and in-depth articles on a range of topics - everything from how to negotiate your first salary, to ways to support friends dealing with mental illness, to the joys of jogging.

  • The Alternative Faculty Handbook ("AFH") is a publication for UWA law students. It was created to help with the difficult task of selecting units for the coming year, and preparing for the next round of core units. We took student experiences and pulled them together to give an insight into the subjects you are about to study, if you are studying at the UWA law school.

  • The Blackstone Careers Handbook is an annual publication that contains articles written by professionals at the top of their fields, sample resumes, cover letters, FAQs and tips for students. The purpose of the Handbook is to give an idea of different career pathways that are open to students once they finish their law degree.
