About Paloma

Hi, I’m Paloma. I am an admitted Australian lawyer (Supreme Court of Victoria and High Court of Australia) with over three years of post-admission experience in legal practice, and I currently work as an Associate to a Judge in the Criminal Division of the County Court of Victoria. My experience spans both private practice and the courts. I have worked as a solicitor in Melbourne, handling a range of complex legal matters, and I now work closely with a judge on serious criminal cases—reviewing briefs, analysing evidence, and engaging with the practical application of criminal law, procedure, and advocacy at a high level. This means I don’t just teach the law as it appears in textbooks, I teach how it is actually applied in court. I graduated with a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of International Relations (with a Distinction WAM), and was awarded Dux of Criminal Law along with multiple academic commendations. I have also won and placed highly in competitive advocacy-based competitions, including the Victorian Women Lawyers Expert Witness Examination Competition.

How I Can Help You: I work with law students who want more than just pass marks—students aiming for strong academic results, clerkships, or long-term careers at the Bar or in top-tier practice.

My tutoring focuses on: Breaking down complex legal concepts into clear, structured understanding. Teaching you how to think like a lawyer (not just memorise content). Developing high-scoring problem-solving and exam techniques. Improving legal writing, structure, and argumentation. Bridging the gap between university learning and real-world legal practice.

Subjects and Skills: I teach all law subjects, as well as offering additional support, such as: Essay writing and editing * Exam preparation and note structuring * Legal drafting skills * Career strategy (clerkships, associateships, pathway to the Bar) * Interviewing and networking guidance * LinkedIn and professional positioning.

My Approach: Sessions are highly tailored and efficient. I prioritise clarity, structure, and results—whether that’s lifting your grades, refining your exam technique, or helping you build confidence with difficult subjects. I offer both online and in-person sessions, with flexible scheduling.
