Justice students

Students are invited to human rights organisation Justice’s annual student conference in London’s International Dispute Resolution Centre on 7 March

A panel of junior lawyers will discuss their experience of the legal profession and answer any questions delegates have about their own career path. The Justice team will hold a clinical session on dissertation topics, while other workshops will focus on legal campaigns on benefits, family justice and magistrates’ courts. Tessa Khan, co-director of the Climate Litigation Network (CLN), will give the keynote address. Students can join Justice and attend for a special offer of £20, or attend for £15.
