The choice of university for Flinders Law student Brayden Mann was not a simple one. A key consideration was that Flinders is the only South Australian university (and one of very few nationally) to offer a Bachelor of \u00a0Laws and Legal Practice degree that fulfils \u00a0both the academic and the practical legal skills requirements, which allows graduates to apply directly for admission, without the need for further study.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sense of community and support at Flinders Law is second to none. The lecturers and academics are passionate, experienced, immensely supportive and caring.<\/p>\n
On my first day at the \u2018New in Law\u2019 program I was introduced to my law mentor. Every first-year law student is assigned a more senior law student as their mentor.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his first year, Brayden undertook a placement program at the Flinders Legal Advice Clinic (FLAC).<\/p>\n
\u201cI got to suit up, attend real client interviews and help create case files. Later in the degree, students have the opportunity to do FLAC placement where they work on real cases with real clients.\u201d<\/p>\n
We are constantly told that employers want employees with practical skills. Flinders Law has given Brayden those skills and the ability to apply them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThroughout my degree I have been developing a 21st\u00a0Century mindset. While I am yet to decide on my career path, I want to keep my options open. Flinders Law allows me to do that.<\/p>\n
