I am a Senior Lecturer in Law in the School of Law and Social Sciences and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I am also a practising solicitor.
I was the founding Director of the award-winning LSBU Legal Advice Clinic (LAC), an innovative student led public drop-in social welfare law advice service for London. The LAC has re-established LSBU as one of the leading centres of clinical legal education in the UK.
I have also been Director of University College London's Centre for Access to Justice.
My research interests are in the areas of clinical legal education and access to justice. I have spoken on these topics at numerous national and international conferences.
I am currently engaged in a research project examining the impact of extended clinical placements on the progression and attainment of undergraduate LLB students. The results are to be published in the International Journal of Clinical Legal Education.
I am engaged in an ongoing joint research project considering methods for the expansion of clinical legal education in Brazilian and South American law schools.
