1. Law Building closure December – February
From December 2017 to mid-2018, the ground floor of the Law Building at our Clayton Campus will be undergoing a refurbishment to bring you an exciting new student space that better serves the need of our law student population. We expect completion to be around the middle of next year (2018).
To ensure the safety of our staff and students, the law building will need to be closed from the end of November this year, until the beginning of February 2018. Staff and students will not have access to the Law Building during this time.
The Student Services staff will still be available to assist you during this period and all normal administrative requests should be sent through ask.monash for a timely response. If you need to visit Student Services in person, we will still be available to assist you. Student Services will be co-located with the Arts Student Centre in the Menzies Building:

2. Your experiences of workplace dignity
Are you a law student who has completed (or about to complete) a clinical placement, being Professional Practice, Professional Practice – FLAP or Clinical Externship? If yes, we are interested in exploring your experiences of workplace dignity during this placement.
You will be asked to talk about experiences where your dignity/or the dignity of others was or was not upheld in an individual interview either face-to-face or over the phone (approximately 45 minutes).
Participants will be provided with a $10 gift voucher for appreciation of their time.
The study is titled “Exploring student and practitioner experiences of workplace dignity during work-integrated learning (WIL) placements”. You can learn more about the study here.
Your data will be kept secure and reported anonymously. Project findings will be reported back to Monash University with the aim to spread best practice and improve policy and practices.
If you are interested in participating please read the attached explanatory statement and contact corinne.davis@monash.edu (9905 0316). In your email please indicate that you are a law student and your preferred day/time for an interview.
