Homeless Persons' Legal Clinic / Refugee Civil Law Clinic Evaluation Report
After many months of hard work by Encompass Family and Community Pty Ltd, the evaluation of the Homeless Persons' Legal Clinic and the Refugee Civil Law Clinic is complete. The evaluation was informed through interviews with host agency representatives, on-line surveys of Team Leaders and volunteer lawyers, client case studies prepared by volunteer lawyers, the HPLC client database and an in-depth case file reading for 58 clients. The feedback received through the evaluation was very positive, but also identified a few areas that the HPLC is keen to address in 2012. You can read the evaluation here - More>>

Red Wine for Justice
Thank you to everyone who attended Red Wine for Justice on 14 October at Law Society House. It was a great success and raised well over $10,000 for the Homeless Persons' Legal Clinic. Many of our members contribute their time and resources pro bono to the HPLC and this will assist us to coordinate and support those efforts.
