Extra funds pledged for young Australian students

    The Australian federal government has pledged an extra 360,000 dollars (329,184 U.S. dollars) to help university students get work experience in community legal centers.

    The funds will extend the seven partnerships already under way in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.

    "Access to practical legal education and experience is important as it not only helps students develop their legal skills, but also increases awareness of social justice and equity issues in the legal system," federal Attorney-General Robert McClelland said later Wednesday.

    The funds will provide students with hands-on experience in family law, while also giving them an opportunity to participate in dispute resolution and work in rural areas.
