The Centre provides a clinical teaching environment for law students and social work law students. Students work with centre lawyers in acting for members for the local community who cannot afford private legal assistance. The objectives and teaching methods of the clinical program are set out in the attached document.
Students can take a subject in either session or over summer.
In this way, students can consolidate their study of the law by practical application. Small group classes and constant consultation with the lawyers provide an opportunity for students to analyse both their roles as lawyers and the role of law in the society. Here's what some of the students who have worked at Kingsford Legal Centre have to say about the experience.
