Summary

Recent LLB Law graduate with a focus on human rights and criminal justice, seeking to gain practical experience within a criminal defence practice. I am eager to build on my academic foundation by observing and supporting solicitors in their day-to-day work, while developing my understanding of how the law operates in practice. I am particularly motivated by the opportunity to learn from experienced professionals, contribute where possible, and gain insight into the realities of criminal defence work as I prepare to pursue a Master’s in Criminal Justice.
