Reg Graycar (Regina Graycar) is an Australian lawyer and academic. By 1992 she was an associate professor at the University of New South Wales, [1] and already working on the ways in which the law was biased against women. [1] From 1997 to 2012 she was a professor of law at the University of Sydney [2] and she served as Commissioner of the NSW Law Reform Commission from 1998 to 2002. [2] She has served on the advisory board for the Australian Feminist Law Journal. [3] [4] [5] Since her return to the NSW bar in late 2012 she became emeritus professor of the Law School of the University of Sydney. [2] She is currently (2024) a senior member of the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal. [6]

Graycar was awarded a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) degree from the University of Adelaide in 1978 [7] and a Master of Laws degree from Harvard University in 1981. [7]

Graycar has explored the concept of family under Australian law, [8] [9] gender bias in Australian law & judgments, [10] [11] working at the intersection of feminism and the law, [12] [13] and is co-author with Jenny Morgan of The Hidden Gender of Law. [14] Her work addresses the systematic failures of the legal system for those who are largely unrepresented in the legal system, including not only women, but adolescents, [15] the institutionally abused, [16] and aborigenes. [17] Given that she is addressing systemic failure, her work encompasses administrative law, constitutional law, [2] the law of torts, [18] legal systems and processes, together with law reform and legal responses to systemic injuries.
