Our Mission
The Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre at Queen Mary University of London has two key aims; enhancing the education of our students and promoting access to justice in the community.
Our aims are achieved through four objectives:
- providing our students with the opportunity to work on live cases thereby developing their legal and non-legal skills, and their understanding of the law in context;
- developing innovative clinical legal education, experiential learning, and teaching methods;
- developing professional and ethical awareness, and instilling a lifelong commitment to promoting access to justice for all in our students;
- providing free, high-quality, legal advice, to members of the public; in particular those who cannot afford to pay for legal advice.
How we work and who we are
Public and clinical legal education at a glance
The Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre is committed to offering its students and local community opportunities through collaborative work. We focus on offering employability skills to undergraduate law students and beyond and supporting causes that are in line with our ethos and QMLAC values.
One of these collaborations is with Future Leaders UK on our community mentoring scheme. This long-standing collaboration offers undergraduate students across the university the chance to mentor A-level students from East London.
We also run a scheme known as Advocates for Change which offers court marshalling to students, aiming to get more state school students into the Judiciary.
