Protégé: Entering law as a first-generation student

  • Summary

  • For anyone, starting law school is enormously challenging, both personally and professionally. For first-generation Australians, there are additional challenges to contend with.

    In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, King & Wood Mallesons applied legal coordinator (disputes and litigation) and JD law student Fauzia Hussein speaks with host Jerome Doraisamy about feeling vulnerable and out of place relative to those with privileged backgrounds, the need for more nuanced support for law students with migrant backgrounds, and overcoming cultural differences.

    Hussein also touches on giving first-generation students a chance at employment, how she has benefited from such support, and the importance of building a legal profession that embraces and includes individuals from all walks of life.
