Welcome to the first edition of 2024. This is a wonderful edition which explores
significant topics. With contributions from Australia, Nigeria and the UK, the authors
offer valuable perspectives on access to justice for marginalised communities, the
cultivation of social justice values in students, integrating vicarious trauma training,
the impact of clinic on academic performance and the utilisation of Artificial
Intelligence in both legal service provision and clinic settings.
We begin with Katie Robertson's article, The Stateless Legal Clinic: Novel Approaches
to Meeting Legal Needs in Australia through Clinical Legal Education which explores
the integration of clinical legal education into the emerging field of statelessness
studies. Specifically, it sheds light on the operation of the Stateless Legal Clinic in the
University of Melbourne. This clinic offers legal assistance and education to stateless
children seeking Australian citizenship and provides students at the University of
Melbourne's Juris Doctor program with hands-on legal experience through an elective
clinical legal education subject. By scrutinising Australia's legal framework concerning
statelessness, the article analyses the design and function of the clinic. It contends that
the clinic presents innovative avenues for enhancing access to justice for marginalised
communities often neglected by the legal profession.
