Hume council’s best and brightest young legal minds have been recognised by the Victorian Bar for their academic excellence.
Fourteen recipients from schools including Salesian College, Hume Central Secondary College and Sunbury College, will receive $1000 from the Victorian Bar Foundation and $500 from Hume council.
Speaking at the award presentation, Victorian Bar Foundation chairman Justice John Digby said the scholarship is intended to break down social and economic barriers so that students can realise their potential.
Hume mayor Joseph Haweil said the council was proud to contribute to the awards.
“Providing pathways for the next generation of legal minds is inspiring, especially among a diverse population such as Hume where half the residents’ first language is not English,” Cr Haweil said.

The roll-up for the swearing in of new High Court judge Jacqueline Gleeson in Canberra on Monday was impressive.
OK, Eric Bana wasnât there â the actor is married to Jackieâs sister Rebecca â as heâs making a film in Western Australia. But as far as legal showbiz goes it was Oscars quality.
However, for the first time that any High Court watcher can remember, the Attorney-General of the day â in this case Christian Porter â wasnât there to start the ball rolling on the speeches of welcome.
