  As part of my cross qualification (from Barrister to Solicitor), I undertook a seat with the brilliant not-for-profit organisation, JUSTICE. My non-litigious 'seat' in policy law allowed me to gain experience in human rights law through assisting Roger Smith OBE, the (then) Director of JUSTICE, on key human rights issues such as access to justice, the rule of law, criminal justice, European law, international jurisdiction and equality rights (for example representing JUSTICE at the Equality Diversity Forum). JUSTICE is an all-party law reform and human rights organisation - promoting improvements to the British legal system through research, education, lobbying and interventions in the courts.
