My name is Sam. I'm a mature student currently studying with the Open University, about to begin the final stages of my LLB. I've always had an interest in Law, but I opted to go into the health industry and have worked in the NHS for the last 15 years. Three years ago I decided to go back to my study, with a view to pursuing a career in medical and health law. I have provided support to colleagues facing FTP and internal disciplinary investigations and I have worked closely as a support liaison with families who were involved in inquest proceedings. I obviously have a strong interest in all things covered under the medical and health law umbrella, but I am keen to build my knowledge in areas such as criminal, human rights, COP and mental health.

Community Law Project - Paralegal
Hello! My name is Tadiwa Daka, I am a GDL graduate from The University of Law in Leeds.

Through this project I hope to play a part in making legal help more widely accessible to those who may struggle to have access to it otherwise, I am passionate about helping people to overcome the barriers they may face when going through the legal system.

Maya Supra-Wood
Community Law Project - Paralegal
Hello! My name is Maya Supra-Wood and I am in my final year at the University of Westminster studying law. Whilst walking through a street market as a young girl I recognised, without hesitation, the iconic Burberry 'Nova check' painted across a stall of clothing. These garments were not Burberry owned but rather they were imitations of the Burberry trademark. This developed my curiosity in the types of legal protection which can be afforded to the fashion industry. Having developed my own small vintage clothing business via an online platform, I wish to pursue a career which connects my love for fashion and commerce with my passion for law. For these reasons, I am particularly interested in commercial law and intellectual property with the ultimate goal of forging a career in fashion law.
Georgia Rose Hardman
Community Law Project - Paralegal
My name is Georgia Rose Hardman. I am currently a first year law student studying law LLB at Edge Hill University. I’ve always had a fascination with law, deepening at GCSE years, and it’s ability to impact every tiny detail of our lives almost silently in some aspects. I have a growing fascination with criminal law and commercial law. Criminal simply because I believe it is a deeply morally complex area of law, in some instances a persons liberty is at stake. Law is not about the “headline” cases, rather the down to earth situations people face everyday, and utilising my knowledge to provide assistance to those in need.
Megan Bell
Community Law Project - Paralegal
I am a 3rd Year Law Student, studying at Edge Hill University, and I am currently due to graduate in July. I am also the Vice President of the Law Society, focusing on Mentoring and running the Social Media Pages. I am also a placeholder to study the LPC LLM in September 2021 at ULAW Liverpool. Since studying at Edge Hill, my passion for law has only since developed. I have wanted to peruse this career from being only young having been very interested in watching crime or lawyers on the television, and seeing the need for justice, alongside reform; especially fascinated with how law has changed since then. I believe I enjoy it the most because it's something I actually feel I can excel in. It has developed my confidence and academics greatly, as I have found myself developing a deeper interest in areas such as Media Law, Employment Law and Family Law, as well as Alternative Dispute Resolution having done an additional course in this with HUNT ADR. I believe my degree, alongside other ventures have opened my eyes to why assisting individuals to understand the law itself is so important, and so humbling knowing that you're helping somebody in fighting injustice, and I feel that this career path is perfect for me, for this reason.

Community Law Project - Paralegal
Hey there! I am Amelia Ava Alexis, a year 2 undergraduate Law student in Durham University. My heart goes out to those that are unable to have access to legal remedies due to the lack of opportunity. Especially as a time as uncertain as now, there has been many more people in need for legal help. Thus, I hope to be able to be able to close these gaps by making legal help accessible even for those who are not as well to do. There is a broad spectrum in relation to law, and there are many practice areas, often overlapping with one another. With the experience I have up till date, I am still mostly inclined to the areas of corporate and finance law as I am intrigued by the way it is able to connect people, things, and ideas. Additionally, I am a huge people person and I love to interact with people of different cultures and backgrounds exchanging valuable insights, so do reach out to me if you would like to have chat!
