‘Bridging the Academic/Vocational Divide: the Creation of a Law Clinic in an Academic Law School’

Abstract

In January 2009 I joined the Law School at the University of Hull. My main responsibility has been the establishment and development of a public serving Law Clinic providing free, confidential and independent legal advice to the local community. Clinic became operational from January 2010 and will be offered as an assessed module as part of the LLB degree, from September 2010.
