Description
The Cultural Immersion Clinic is an elective subject in the Bachelor of Laws/Juris Doctor program offered by the Faculty of Law. Students will undertake a placement at YFS Legal in Logan under the supervision of an Indigenous solicitor. The aim of the Clinic is to provide an understanding of culturally competent criminal law practice. Students will assist lawyers with service delivery to a culturally diverse client group of young people who have found themselves in the criminal justice system. Students will be exposed to a wide range of criminal law work including writing submissions and law reform proposals, drafting communications to clients, and providing support to solicitors representing clients in court. Students will also participate in educative sessions with a focus on developing cultural competence and will have the opportunity to critically reflect on their learnings in their placement experience.
