鈥淢y internship at Legal Aid NSW鈥檚 Strategic Law Reform Unit provided invaluable insight into the practical workings of law reform and advocacy. By contributing to policy analysis and legal research and collaborating with experienced law reform officers, I gained an understanding of the critical role of law reform in advancing social justice and addressing laws that disadvantage vulnerable communities. This opportunity not only enhanced my analytical and communication skills but also strengthened my commitment to contributing meaningfully to the development of a fairer, more just legal system.鈥
