Kissy
Fabio Motta, Adriano Vittorio, Meguel Debenedetti, Amy Cummins
Victoria University


“This film illustrates whether it is reasonable to jump off a bridge in return for a kiss. Is this an offer with sufficient consideration? Or a mere invitation to treat? This movie allows students to see how the law defines a bargain.”

Going Pro Bono: Law Students and Justice Access
Dayna Ziukelis
The University of Adelaide


“This film shows how pro bono legal work helps the disadvantaged and marginalised access the justice system. It uses the Adelaide Legal Outreach Service, which was set-up by the University of Adelaide Law School and operates at two homeless shelters. It is staffed by final year students, overseen by solicitors and is an example of a service where students can gain experience in the law while helping the disadvantages access the benefits of their rights. It shows that, as many students are directed towards the corporate career path, pro bono work can help them reconnect with the reason they chose to study law in the first place.”
