2024 Law Student Volunteer Program: Welcoming New Volunteers

We are pleased to announce the commencement of our Law Student Volunteer Program for Semester 1, 2024, with the successful recruitment of two new volunteers, Lejla Cacvic and Suzy Jeong.  

Both Lejla and Suzy make a wonderful addition to the centre, and we thank them for generously offering to volunteer their time.  

Our volunteer program is overseen by our Client Services Coordinator, Sarah Devenport, and Lawyer, Angela Scarfo, who are both constant points of contact for our students, providing training and supervision in an ongoing capacity to enhance and foster growth in skills and confidence.  

The program is designed to train law student volunteers to undertake client intake and assist the legal team with appropriate legal tasks. 

Our program ensures that both Suzy and Lejla will experience a busy legal practice and be exposed to: 

• Ongoing training and development in employment law and procedure.
• Client intake, and processes and procedures in a community legal centre.
• drafting legal letters and forms for tribunals and commissions. 
• Professional development opportunities.

The law student volunteer program runs for the duration of the university semester and we expect the new intake of volunteers to commence shortly before semester two 2024. 

This program is funded by the South Australian Attorney General’s Department.
