The Public Interest Law Clearing House (PILCH) is a proud collaborator of La Trobe University’s Public Interest Law Postgraduate Program. The program provides an excellent opportunity for pro bono, public interest and community lawyers to enhance their theoretical and practical knowledge about this growing area of law.
La Trobe Law welcomes students from other LLM programs, practitioners wishing to extend their professional development and others wishing to participate in various units. Tuition fees are FEE-HELP eligible.
The Program’s introductory unit, Issues in Public Interest Law, explores the history, theory, principles and practices of public interest law. The subject explores a range of models, activities and techniques used in lawyering in the public interest, drawing on specific examples of legal practice and case studies.
The 5 day intensive course is held conveniently at La Trobe University’s City campus, 215 Franklin Street, Melbourne.
