On Wednesday 10th April at 6:00 pm in the Student Enrichment Centre (Law Building) we will be joined by Elle Triantafillou and Ovi Rajashinghe from the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service! Elle is a solicitor with Wirraway (Police and Prison Accountability Practice) and Ovi practices with specialised youth program Balit Ngulu.

The workshop will focus on the skills needed to defend clients against criminal charges on the basis of police misconduct as well as discussing how civil litigation can be used as a mechanism for police accountability after a criminal matter has concluded. We will delve into specific areas such as police powers of entry and arrest, elements for the defence of unlawful arrest, and factors for clients to weigh up when determining whether to pursue a civil claim against police. If you're hoping to pursue a career in social justice, and are tossing up between practising civil or criminal law, this is the workshop for you!

As always, free bevvies and food will be provided!
