ABOUT LSS

ABOUT US

The LSS will work to promote progressive law and policy making that advances principles of equal rights and respect for all.

The LSS hosts lectures and seminars to raise awareness and to stimulate debate about the conflict between equal rights and the continuing demands by religious believers for special treatment, for the allocation of resources and for exemptions from equality requirements.

The LSS is not anti-religious, but believes that religion is a matter for private conscience, not public advantage. The LSS believes that the right to manifest religion or belief does not permit interference with the fundamental rights of others. The right of all members of society to live free from discrimination and to have equal access to employment, to education and services always comes first.

The LSS welcomes applications for membership from lawyers in all areas of practice and from academics and students of all disciplines.
