Fieldwork placements in legal settings

Fieldwork Placements in legal settings: why not?

I've often thought about law and social work as an excellent combination for some social workers.

Community legal centres, law firms, public legal offices and so on ....
I'm aware that Slater & Gordon have a Social Work presence in Melbourne office, I've been in touch with the Social Worker there.

Social workers are everywhere beyond the usual or traditional places we are expected to be found, Schools, Unions, Electorate Offices ... 

I came across this excellent article which prompted me to write this post.
