Working at the Law Centre really does give you an opportunity to make a positive difference to people’s lives. I would like to think that one day there will be no need for organisations like the Law Centre as social justice will prevail… however, in the meantime, I feel privileged to work alongside such tenacious colleagues who refuse to accept things as they are."
