This Summer 2024/25, the UQ Pro Bono Centre will again be offering a round of regional placements for LAWS5180 Clinical Legal Education, as part of the Centre's Regional, Rural and Remote (RRR) Justice Project. Through the RRR Justice Project, the Centre aims to highlight the exciting career opportunities available for legal practitioners in regional, rural and remote Australia.
Students can apply to be placed at:
- Townsville Community Law (13 - 24 January 2025)
- TASC Legal and Social Justice Services (Toowoomba) (13 - 24 January 2025)
- Wide Bay Burnett Community Legal Service (13 - 24 January 2025)
- SunCoast Community Legal (17 - 31 January 2025 excluding public holiday)
The students on placement will be shadowing several highly experienced and well-respected community lawyers. This is an outstanding for-credit placement opportunity (LAWS5180) to get hands-on experience in the diverse practice of a regional community legal centre: participating in client interviews, legal research, project work, community engagement, and more, under close supervision.
The regional clinical program will involve a two-week intensive clinical placement at a community legal centre based in regional Queensland.
Applications close 2 December 2024. Last day to enrol in summer is 6 December 2024.
