The Trustee For The Chief Justice's Law Week Youth Appeal
The Trustee For The Chief Justice's Law Week Youth Appeal is an Australian nonprofit organisation established under the Trustee For The Chief Justice's Law Week Youth Appeal trust structure. Registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), it operates as a Law Society initiative to distribute donations to youth-focused projects and support services[1].

Purpose and Activities
The organisation channels funds raised during Law Week, an annual event promoting public engagement with legal education and advocacy, toward initiatives benefiting young people. Its activities aim to address systemic challenges in youth justice and support vulnerable communities, though specific programs remain undocumented in publicly available records.

Governance
As a trustee-managed entity, the organisation's operations are overseen by trustees, typically legal professionals or representatives affiliated with the Law Society of Western Australia. Its charity registration status was listed as "voluntarily revoked" in ACNC records, though the specific timeframe and implications of this revocation are unclear[2].

Context
While not directly linked to recent youth justice reforms, the organisation exists alongside broader advocacy efforts to address punitive legal frameworks affecting young people. Calls to raise the age of criminal responsibility to 14, as endorsed by national human rights groups, highlight ongoing debates about systemic reform—a landscape in which youth-focused legal charities may indirectly participate[5].

Legacy
The appeal exemplifies historical efforts within the legal profession to address youth disadvantage through philanthropy, though its current operational scope remains ambiguous due to limited public disclosures.
