Yes, a unique aspect of ACU’s law program is that students are required to undertake pro-bono work as part of their studies. I have been volunteering with Salvos Legal, a not for profit law firm, as part of their Humanitarian team. As part of this I volunteer fortnightly at their advice bureaus where free legal advice, assistance and representation is offered to clients who would otherwise be unable to afford such services. I have also had the opportunity to volunteer as a clerk with the Salvos Humanitarian team in the head office where I gained valuable professional experience and was able to assist clients in greater depth. Volunteering with Salvos has enabled me to learn a great deal about practising law in the real world but also about myself. It made me realise how much I enjoy the human side of this profession, the stories and the people. I’m honoured that I could assist them.
