About Us
The Roma Mitchell Community Legal Centre is a member of SACCLS (the South Australian Council of Community Legal Services), and is located in the Norwood Human Rights Centre in the basement of the Norwood Library, 110 The Parade, Norwood , 5067. The Centre operates an EAS (Evening legal Advisory Service) on Monday and Thursday evenings. Depending on the consent of the clients and the pro bono lawyers advising on varying legal matters, law students are generally able to sit in on interviews, experiencing real life situations, as the private lawyers give legal advice to clients. Additionally, students are inducted so as better to assist in the many confidentiality and professional procedures required for the smooth running of a legal office. The Centre is also involved across the local, state-wide and national Aboriginal community in a number of mainstream and regional social projects concerning Human Rights, Aboriginal Land Rights and Indigenous Treaty, and Reconciliation.
