Social Justice Policy Clinic
The Social Justice Policy Clinic is a new project for 2025, led by the Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre.
Students work in small groups under the supervision of clinic staff, to identify and explore a current legal or policy issue relating to social justice. They work together and in partnership with academic staff members and/or external NGO and legal professional partners to analyse current law and policy, research the issue in more detail, consider possibilities for legal and/or policy reform and then present their proposals for change.
Through involvement in the Social Justice Policy Clinic, students have the opportunity to improve their teamwork, research, interviewing and presentation skills, as well as to develop their understanding of legal and policy reform.

If you are a QMUL academic or a potential NGO or legal professional partner and have an idea for a project which might benefit from involvement with the Social Justice Policy Clinic, please get in touch! lac@qmul.ac.uk
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!
