The High School Lawyer

Short Documentary

With over 100,000 family violence cases reported by police in Australia every year, it’s an outbreak that cannot be swept under the rug. Vincent Shin used to be a part of that statistic. However, he was lucky enough to ‘break the cycle’ and became a lawyer. But Shin is more than just that. He is the first person in the world to be employed full time as a school lawyer, representing all students and adults with issues ranging from fines to domestic violence. Shin, an avid boxer who rides his sports bike to work, is not your typical lawyer.
