Bail Observation Project

The Bail Observation Project is a new project for 2025, led by the Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre.

Students work in pairs to observe immigration bail hearings in the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber). This is a valuable opportunity to observe the work of a tribunal and those who work within it, including judges, legal representatives and court staff, and to develop students’ understanding of the immigration system, detention, legal aid and access to justice as well as the use of technology in the civil courts.

The project also aims to identify key themes and issues in how bail hearings are conducted both for represented and unrepresented bail applicants.

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.

Please contact us on legal-advice-centre@qmul.ac.uk if you are interested in working with us on something new!
