The Gavel was founded in 2013 as a bi-monthly newsletter covering recent legal digests and commentaries. The Gavel has been transformed into a quasi-academic law journal in 2016, which focuses on trending issues impacting on the legal landscape in Asia Pacific region. The Gavel adopts a double-blind peer review process and accepts submissions, including articles, case notes and news commentaries. The Gavel is the flagship publication of the Chinese Law Students Society (‘CLSS’) at the University of Sydney Law School. CLSS envisions an inclusive and diverse environment for the greater law student community, and constantly seeks career opportunities in Asian-Pacific region for CLSS members. **𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏.**
