     A one day forum for community workers, youth workers,
     community education project officers, tenants' advocacy and
     advice workers, lawyers, co-ordinators, policy makers,
     researchers and academics.

     The forum is part of efforts to encourage more research and
     analysis about what constitutes effective community education
     practice about justice and the law. Why is there little
     research and analysis about what constitutes effective
     community education practice about justice and the law,
     compared to the growing amount of research about community
     health education? The health system may be more substantial
     than the justice system. But the number and variety of
     practitioners who help people, particularly in disadvantaged
     communities, learn about justice and the law is very large and
     does warrant more research attention.
