Practical Lawyering Skills for Social Justice

A series of interactive lunchtime workshops led by a range of sector-leading academics and solicitors to equip students with the practical lawyering skills needed to advance social justice.

In 2025/26, these workshops included:

  • ‘So, You Want to SLAPP Someone? Workshop on Abusive Civil Litigation’ 
  • ‘Lawyering for Environmental Justice
  • 'Professional Legal Ethics & Social Justice Lawyering'
  • 'Legal Aid'
  • 'Working with vulnerable clients- Trauma Informed Lawyering & Vicarious Trauma'
  • 'Client Care – how to communicate with vulnerable clients'
  • 'Client Care – interviewing'

These are light-touch so students can drop-in for one or more sessions, as suits their interest. They are especially suited to students who may be unable to participate in a long-term external placement due to caring, work and personal responsibilities.
