WHERE: Moot Court

TIME: 12:15 – 1:15

Come along to the Moot Court to hear a little bit about JusticeNet SA and how you can help others through pro bono legal assistance.

JusticeNet SA was established in 2009 to help manage, and develop, the growing commitment to pro bono assistance in the South Australian legal profession. Unfortunately, many Australians face significant obstacles in secur…ing access to justice.

JusticNet aims to help individuals and charitable not-for-profit organisations gain access to justice with a network of firms and barristers who provide their services on a voluntary basis.

JusticeNet offers volunteer opportunities to those who are still studying, or have recently graduated, with an interest in pro bono and public interest law. Placements are also available as part of the Law School’s Clinical Legal Education program.

For more information about JusticeNet and the work they do, visit their website at http://www.justicenet.org.au/.
