Are you interested in becoming a family lawyer? Leo Cussen Centre for Law trains people with a law degree to become practical lawyers.

"I liked the delivery of the information through video format, if felt like a supervisor is actually directing / instructing you to perform a legal task in a real setting. I also liked the role-play scenes because it gave me an idea of potentially how clients will present themselves and what relevant information to unpack from their conversations."-- Student from University of Melbourne
