The Session
When he opened the Bloomsbury Institute’s Law Clinic in January 2022, Lord David Neuberger, Former President of the Supreme Court, said that ‘now more than ever, law clinics perform an absolutely essential function for society. Without them, we risk limiting access to the information and advice that many people need, but cannot afford, when seeking justice.’
In this panel discussion, the Bloomsbury Institute, will share how the Clinic benefits both the local community, by democratising access to legal information, and the student community, by providing real-world clinical experience.
