The Orana Law Society's (OLS) Opening of the Law Term in 2016 may exhibit the changing face of the legal profession in Dubbo, NSW and Australia.

OLS president and Law Society of NSW councillor Andrew Boog reports the legal profession is currently made up of "more women than men".

"If it isn't, it's so close that it doesn't matter," he said.

OLS revived the annual Opening of the Law Term in 2015.

"It was happening for a long time and then it stopped," Mr Boog said.

Long-time residents of Dubbo will remember past processions of mostly suited and robed men along Brisbane Street about this time of year.

In 2016 "all participants in the legal process" will follow a similar route but in an informal fashion.

From 9.30am on Monday District Court Judge Gordon Lerve will preside in courtroom 2 of Dubbo Courthouse where His Honour and members of the legal fraternity will speak.

Mr Boog said the event was an opportunity for the legal profession to refocus on "serving the community" and important principals including "all are equal before the law".

The court sitting will be followed at 10am by a service at nearby Holy Trinity Church, led by Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Bathurst Ian Palmer.

A subsequent morning tea will provide an opportunity for fellowship.

"It's nice to rub shoulders with other players in the field when there aren't issues that need to be pursued," Mr Boog said.

The OLS president used "hourglass" to describe his colleagues at Dubbo.

"There's quite a significant number of older practitioners and a very large number of younger practitioners, but not so many in the middle," Mr Boog said.

Participants in the Opening of the Law Term will include representatives of organisations that form part of the "legal circle", including Dubbo Sheriff's Office and NSW Probation and Parole Service Dubbo.

The court sitting and church service are open to the public.
