Monash University Faculty of Law Student Stories

I spent nearly half of my electives in the law school’s clinical program, at Springvale Monash Legal Service, in the student advocacy program at Dandenong Magistrate’s Court and in the Family Violence Clinic.

My placement at Springvale Monash Legal Services was my first experience actually engaging with the law and it made me realise how crucial access to justice and quality legal advice can be to clients’ lives.

I have gained experience in a wide variety of areas, from conducting client interviews to running my own files and even appearing in Court on behalf of clients.
