Victoria's part-time law students want better pay— and they want it now.

At The Annual meeting of the Law Faculty club, members passed without dissenting voice a motion that the incoming club committee investigate salaries paid to law students in city offices.

This investigation is to be carried out with a view to making representations to the "Wellington Legal Employees Industrial Union of Workers." the union which represents not only law students but most other law office staff as well.

Mover of the motion, third-year student Mark von Dadelszen told the meeting that the latest award was dated the 18th September 1961.

This allowed for a basic wage of £5/17/6 per week, with half yearly increase of about 12/6 to 15 - per half-year up to a total of three and a half years.

Following the six per cent wage rise, the basic wage was now £6/4/6, and at least one Wellington law firm was paying £6/5/0.
