APPROXIMATELY 250 students from 11 schools in Shepparton, Benalla, Kyabram, Mooroopna and Rochester had the chance to hear from experts from some of Victoria’s most important legal bodies last week when they took part in a Shepparton Regional Law Talks event.
Run over two days, the talks were hosted by the Victoria Law Foundation and aimed to help students better understand topics covered by the legal studies curriculum.
The students heard from presenters including Victorian Ombudsmen, Deborah Glass, Victorian Law Reform Commission chair, Hon. Philip Cummins AM, Independent Member for Shepparton District, Suzanna Sheed and Laurie Rumbold from the Juries Commissioner’s Office.
