Community Impact Team
Our students participate in various projects to improve public legal education, influence government policy, and support aspiring law students.
Schools
Our interactive legal education sessions in local secondary schools focus on topics relevant to teenagers. Our students share with pupils what it’s like to study law and possible career pathways after university.
Local organisations
JLAP projects educate and engage members of the public in discussions about their rights. Students working on JLAP projects have:
- Collaborated with the Student Union’s My Rent, My Rights project, creating leaflets on students' housing rights.
- Delivered a presentation on Mental Capacity Law and dementia to Bath and North East Somerset Dementia Support Team. Read the news article.
- Provided legal education and support to local domestic violence charities. The support informed service users of their rights in the criminal and civil justice systems.
If you would like our Law Clinic students to give a presentation at your school or organisation, please contact us at bristol-lawclinic@bristol.ac.uk
