Community Impact Team

Our students participate in various projects to improve public legal education, influence government policy, and support aspiring law students.

Public Legal Education

We deliver presentations to local organisations, simplifying legal issues and empowering individuals with legal knowledge. For example, students partner with ACH to deliver webinars on employment rights for refugee and migrant communities. These events have been attended by individuals from Ukraine, Hong Kong and Afghanistan.

Government consultations

We contribute to government consultations with well-researched responses to shape policy and legislation. This experience allows students to engage directly with the policy development process. Students have taken part in consultations on welfare benefits and Employment Tribunal fees.

Schools

We provide interactive sessions at local secondary schools, discussing law at university, career pathways in law, and tips for aspiring law students. Our students make a positive difference by encouraging pupils to consider higher education and where studying law might take them.
