The law school said it was proud of the four students for their work in presenting a “know your employment rights” workshop in collaboration with headspace, which included a guide for having difficult discussions with employers. 

 
 

Students Annabel Bramley, Leon Kasperski, Anika Pietek and Natasha Slater were presenting the workshop at the city library where they talked their young listeners through rights and entitlement and provided additional information about working. 

“In addition to providing legal advice to diverse groups through the Law School Free Legal Advice services, our students reach out to the community to provide education and support in presentations like this,” the law school said. 

“A win for the community, for young workers and to our future graduates who have an engaging and interesting presentation and were able to help attendees.” 

The students all work in the free legal clinics at the Magistrates Court, Equal Opportunity, Administrative and Adelaide Legal Outreach services.
