From Canberra to the Kimberley | ANU students improve lives with remote legal service
From Canberra to the Kimberley | ANU students improve lives with remote legal service
Since 2017, law students from The Australian National University (ANU) have voluntarily staffed a Canberra-based hotdesk to help Kimberley Community Legal Service (KCLS) lawyers assist people with legal issues in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The initiative is part of the ANU College of Law’s extra-curricular Law Reform and Social Justice Program, where students examine areas of law and work to try to improve them.
The KCLS-ANU hot desk operates out of a small office in the ANU College of Law, with a telephone and three computers with email and Skype.
For more information about KCLS or to learn how you can help as a donor or intern, please visit: bit.ly/ANUKCLS
