Kingsford Legal Centre is an award-winning community legal centre which helps people who live in our local community. We provide advice and casework to our clients, as well as community legal education and law reform submissions on issues that affect disadvantaged community members.
Our clinical legal education courses offers you the chance to learn law while practising it and participate in every aspect of the service. You will be supervised by experienced solicitors and given the chance to see the law through your clients’ eyes. This kind of learning gives you:
- experience in actual practice of law and policy for clients;
- a chance to examine the interaction of legal analysis and human behaviour including interpersonal dynamics and communication;
- an opportunity to learn while doing, then reflecting;
- professional skills;
- insight into the functioning of the legal system and its capacities and limitations; and,
- exposure to the demands, constraints and methods of analysing unstructured situations in which the issues have not been pre-identified.
