Why do people join the community legal sector? Reflections on praxis
Abstract
The Victorian Federation of Community Legal Centres (FCLC) commissioned research to work out why people join the Victorian community legal sector. A focus group was conducted, data was collected, and this article reflects the findings. We explore how the language and concepts the participants shared in their responses connect to significant principles and theories of community legal action (a praxis).
