It has been heartening to see Abhishek navigate with confidence and purpose through the learning spaces of Bangalore International School for many years. From working with him in the Middle School a few years back to fielding his multiple pointed queries in High School on the universities he was researching and even visiting some of them through the years along with his very proactive, caring parents to get a definitive perspective has been the glimpse of a journey of this inquisitive, focused and resolute individual. Abhishek's clarity of thought in articulating his point of view whether in a TOK class or a Guidance lesson has been so refreshing and ever insightful to both his teachers and peers. With Abhishek you knew there was one person in the room who held on to your every word and drew meaning from it or raised a gentle query to seek one. And all that done with such poise and grace. It was quite early in his journey that he settled on pursuing law and the clarity of his vision saw him following minutely an action plan that led to his eventual admission at the prestigious Queen Mary University. No doubt, we are going to have fine legal expert very soon. Abhishek is always a gentleman in his approach and I have seen his growth over the years with pride. Usually, you will find him a contemplative engrossed in his thoughts, analysis and reflections, but when he lets his guard down with his close set of friends, one can’t miss that sparkle as he breaks into a smile or laughter. Abhishek’s accomplished renditions on the Keyboard on multiple occasions in the school during cultural events have kept the audience spellbound. It is to his credit that he set apart quality time apart grow as a musician and complete successfully Grade 8 from Trinity College London in Electronic Keyboard.

      This is one of many ‘street law projects’ conducted by the Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre—i.e., projects to spread awareness of legal rights in the local community. An edited description of this particular project (from their website) is given below:I am You is a Street Law project whereby Queen Mary undergraduate Law students work in groups to deliver bespoke interactive workshops to year 4 or 5 classes. These free workshops are based around the protected characteristics within the Equality Act 2010. Our students will lead sessions and encourage the school children to question their own views and preconceptions.Four themes are focussed on: identity, challenging stereotypes and discrimination, the gender pay-gap and community. I worked in a team to deliver workshops on these themes. First, we helped students understand what makes them unique in comparison to others—i.e., what protected characteristics may make up their identity. Second, we introduced them to the concept of stereotypes, and gave them the tools to help them challenge discrimination, along with introducing them to the specific concept/phenomenon of the gender pay gaps. Third, we helped them understand the concept of communities, both based on protected characteristics, and on other similar interests/shared values. Finally, we taught them different types of poetry, in order to help them write a poem about their understanding of equality after the workshops were over. We were required to align our content to be understood by Years 5 and 6 students, requiring creative thinking to simplify complex jurisprudential concepts into a digestible form.

      I worked on the Freedom Law Clinic's pro bono Criminal Law internship. This involves doing legal research on real cases (criminal convictions) involving real people who cannot afford legal representation in England and Wales (the jurisdiction where I am studying Law) that will be appealed to either the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) under the Criminal Appeal Act 1995 or the Court of Appeal in that jurisdiction under the Criminal Appeal Act 1968 to have the conviction declared "unsafe" under Section 23. My tasks included:1. Summarizing key documents (trial judge's summing up, correspondence between the defendant's solicitors and the Criminal Appeal Office, mental health valuation reports etc.) and determining what could constitute potential evidence for appeal under the 1968 Act or the Criminal Appeal Act 1995 to merit re-investigation by the CCRC.2. Assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the key points of the prosecution evidence.3. Producing a note on potential fresh evidence that could help quash the conviction.4. Writing an advice letter to the client on the strengths and weaknesses of a draft appeal and how it could be modified.5. Writing a skeleton argument on one point of law from the above-mentioned advice-letter that would be part of the appeal to the Court of Appeal under the 1968 act. This skeleton argument was presented to the supervising solicitor as an assessed piece of oral advocacy.

      • Oct 2021 - Jun 2022

      At the Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre (QMLAC) Blog Project, we aim to educate non-lawyers about the law in an accessible way, without usage of jargon. Our blogs are written by students studying on one of Queen Mary University of London's (QMUL's) Bachelors of Law (LLB) degree programs. We focus on areas including Immigration Law, Family Law, Public/Constitutional/Human Rights Law and Discrimination Law, expressing our opinion on various issues that arise in these types of law. Our blogs are often calls to action, with the authors providing ideas on how the law might be reformed. I have written two blogs.My first blog explores the constitutional implications of a statement made by the UK Justice secretary, Dominic Raab, to the newspaper the Sunday Telegraph to the effect that the government was looking into a 'mechanism' to overrule judicial decisions that were unfavourable to the government. It is available at:http://www.lac.qmul.ac.uk/our-legal-blog/items/is-dominic-raabs-proposal-to-curtail-judicial-power-constitutional.html#My second explores the question of whether the Equality Act's disability Reasonable Adjustment duty on employers should be anticipatory, like the duty on public bodies. It can be found at:http://www.lac.qmul.ac.uk/our-legal-blog/items/should-the-duty-on-private-employers-to-make-reasonable-adjustment-for-the-disabled-be-the-same-as-that-for-public-bodies.html#main-content
