I am a full-time law student, currently studying for the Bar Professional Training Course in London, with the intention of qualifying at the London Bar and practising as a Barrister in criminal and human rights law. I have a high 2:1 degree in Law from a UK University, where, during my degree, I assisted in running the university Law Clinic, and set up the University of Bristol Street Law Project, which seeks to educate young people in the Bristol area about legal issues relevant to them. I specialise in the areas of criminal law and criminology, although I also gained high marks in family law, tort law, trusts law and evidence law papers.
