Students will select one of the ‘priority groups’ that interests them from those listed in the final Justice Report (2018) produced by the Law Council of Australia. https://www.lawcouncil.asn.au/justice-project/final-report

Students will then conduct online research into a relevant Victorian court process e.g.:

– A child protection application when a child is at risk of harm

– A criminal matter involving a young person

– An application for a Family Violence order
