ADELAIDE UNIVERSITY LAW STUDENTS SOCIETY
GRIEVANCE POLICY
Making a Complaint
The Adelaide University Law Students’ Society (AULSS) (“the SOCIETY”) seeks to provide
a straightforward and confidential procedure to resolving any DISPUTES or COMPLAINTS
on the basis of natural justice and the objects of the AULSS.
A committee member of the SOICETY may report a COMPLAINT about another committee
member of the SOCIETY or other organisation that is bound by this POLICY if they have
experienced any form of bullying, harassment, discrimination, or anything else of such
nature.
A COMPLAINT may be brought forward to the President and the Vice President, either
formally or informally. The President has the discretion to redirect the COMPLAINT if it
falls outside the scope of this POLICY and should be handled with a different authority that
would be more appropriate.
The President and Vice President may contact the person which the COMPLAINT has been
made against, to notify them of this COMPLAINT.
All COMPLAINTS are to be handled confidentially, punctually and seriously. If the
COMPLAINT is against the President or the Vice President, the complaint may be made to
any other member of the Executive.
Improper Complaints and Victimisation
The AULSS seeks to ensure this procedure has integrity and does not victimise the
committee member making the COMPLAINT. All members of the SOCIETY should feel
safe in raising a COMPLAINT.
If a committee member intentionally makes an untruthful COMPLAINT, the matter may be
brought to the Executive to decide on an action appropriate in the circumstance.
Consequential Measures
Once a COMPLAINT has been raised, the President will refer it to the Executive to
collectively determine and implement any necessary actions. The Executive must ensure all
measures:
a. Are fair, reasonable and objective
b. Take into account all parties involved
c. Take into account the evidence and seriousness of the breach
d. Take into account Division 8.2 of the AULSS ConstitutionEXECUTIVE REPORTS

Pre-Registration Roster
o Thank you so much to everyone who has volunteered
some time to help out with our pre registration this year.
o The roster is as follows:
o If anyone else is free to help out on Thursday between
12pm-1pm that would be much appreciated!
Key pre registration need to know information:
o The student must present a valid Adelaide Uni student
ID; and
o Provide a screenshot of their access Adelaide Semester 2
2020 Subject enrolments in at least 1 law subject this
screenshot must also show their name i.e.
o YES (we can see my name in top left corner alongside
enrolment)
o NO (we cannot see their name corresponding to
enrolment here)EXECUTIVE REPORTS
COMMITTEE MEETING 9
o Upon presentation of these two things the student s ID is
to be placed in the excel document (link to this will be on
the AULSS fb group).
o If anyone presents an ID card for a friend for the proxy
option please pecif he ord PROXY in he Proof of
Enrolment column on the so I can double check the they
have uploaded the relevant material.
o I ill be caref ll cro checking he den ID of all
pre-registered attendees. It is vital this year that we are
completely thorough with this eligibility check to ensure
it is an equitable process for all students.
o I note that if less students are pre-registered than the
amount who can attend the event, I will open up pre-
registration to a wider group of Adelaide University
students. For example, those who are not currently
studying in the degree but are returning to study or
previously have taken law subjects.
o I apprecia e e er one inp o er he la fe commi ee
meetings in helping me agree on the fairest approach
being to let currently enrolled law students have priority
in attending this ear event given the 50% reduced
capacity.
Committee Ticket purchasing

en i led o a g aran eed icke for hi ear La Ball! I

COMMITTEE MEETING 9
compulsory unless a valid reason is presented.
Ticketing Roster on the night of Law Ball
o As with previous years, our Activities portfolio is always
so appreciative of the help of fellow committee members
assisting with ticketing and wrist-banding on the night.
o Please refer to the roster on the AULSS Facebook page
carefully to see when you are on.
o The AULSS policy for the Law Ball roster is that the
allocation of time = students in their later years ticket
earlier in the night, committee members in an earlier
year of their degree ticket later in the night, so on and so
forth.
o The Activities representatives also do ticketing in the
earliest time slot of the night as they arrive early at the
event to assist.
o It can be fun (dare I say competitive) seeing who gets the
most check-ins on their phone when ticketing, prize to
follo
Key ticketing/wrist banding need to know information:
o Please adhere to the roster as otherwise the downstairs area
will be really congested which is a big issue for COVID-19
o Please make sure you are checked in and wrist banded
yourself!
o Please arrive to o r shift a fe min tes earl so it s a q ick
and easy change over
o If you are ticketing, you need to be logged into the Eventbrite
Organiser App. Please download this App on your phone.
The login details are available from your relevant portfolio
Director.
If you could all help out on the night looking out for any anti-
social behaviour and letting Activities/staff know we would really
appreciate it as we love hosting the event at Adelaide Oval and
want to be able to continue having the event there in future
years.
Committee Pre-Drinks
o You are all invited to attend our exclusive committee pre
drinks at Adelaide Oval from 7pm on the night for 30
minutes before we open the event to attendees.
o During this time, you have access to the open bar (wooo)
and I look forward to seeing you all there.EXECUTIVE REPORTS

Careers and Sponsorship
DATE 2 October 2020
REPORT BY Isabelle Blacketer
1. SUMMARY OF Sponsored Events
REPORT Careers in Commercial Litigation with Lipman Karas
Careers in M & A with Kain Lawyers
2. UPCOMING Careers in Commercial Litigation with Lipman Karas
EVENTS Wednesday Week 10 (14th of October, 5.30pm 7.00pm
Moot Court)
Organised by Anthony
In person Q & A and networking opportunity, Zoom TBC
Lipman Karas will be bringing speakers
o at multiple stages of their career (junior,
intermediate and senior); and
o with a diverse range of experiences on local and
international matters
This will give students a comprehensive understanding
of a career in commercial litigation.
This is a sponsored even with one of our major
sponsors – a strong turnout is essential.
Kain Lawyers Seminar #2
Tuesday Week 11 (20th October, 12.30 pm 2.00 pm,
Moot Court)
Topic TBC likely M&A oriented
Organised by Charlton
This is a sponsored even with one of our major
sponsors – a strong turnout is essential.
3. ACTIVITIES OF Sponsored Events
PORTFOLIO It was disappointing to see that so few members of the
committee showed up to the Kain lawyers Seminar as
this was a sponsored event and urged committee
attendance.
While I appreciate that week 8 is a very busy time of the
semester, attendance is vital to the success of
pon ored e en and he AULSS f re pon or hip.
Thank you to everyone from the committee who did
attend.EXECUTIVE REPORTS
COMMITTEE MEETING 9
Moving forward:
o There are 4 sponsored events coming up in the
remaining weeks of this semester. They are:
Lipman Karas Seminar
Wednesday Week 10 5.30-7.00pm
GDLP Networking Night
sponsored by the College of Law
Wednesday Week 10 5.30-7.00pm
Open Moot Final
sponsored by Herbert Smith
Freehills
week 9 Tuesday
Kain Lawyers Seminar #2
Tuesday Week 11 12.30 2.00pm
o Together these four events are generating more
than $4,100 revenue for the Society. This
revenue funds the events and activities of every
portfolio.
o Without strong student turnout, firms will not
continue to sponsor events in future years. This is
especially relevant given the impending recession
and the fact that firms will have less money to
spend next year. This will decrease our revenue
and our ability to provide student services.
o Therefore, the expectation is that every
member of the committee attends these four
sponsored events.
o I expect to see all of you at all four of these
events. If you are unable to attend for some
reason, please let me know via email or FB.
