India Milano
Community Law Project - Paralegal
Hello! My name is India Milano, and I am a second-year Politics, Philosophy and Law student at King's College London. My passion for the law grew out of its' universality, determining every facet of our daily lives and global society, and its versatility in finding answers to practical and ethical questions. Studying a holistic degree, I am motivated by finding innovative and creative responses where legal and political-economic areas overlap, pushing all-encompassing transformations. Today, my interests are driven by finding legal solutions to pressing issues as the energy industry, geopolitical risk factors, and civil rights violations. My passion for the latter and the volunteering sector started when studying abroad in India for six months, engaging in community work and internalising social justice's importance as the basis of our society.

Samyukta Shankar
Community Law Project - Paralegal
Hello, my name is Samyukta Shankar. I am currently a third year Law undergraduate at the Army Institute of Law, India. When the pandemic struck the world in the early months of 2020, I got to witness the distraught of those less privileged than me, not just in my home country but around the world. It made me realise that even though the whole world was suffering together there were people who were more vulnerable. For me law has been one place where everybody is an equal, where everybody has an equal right, and an equal voice. There is no bias, no judgement in the law, and this has been a constant driving force for me. Through this project my aim is to help/assist people to the best of my abilities and to bring a change (for the better) no matter how small in their lives. Apart from this in my free time I like reading stories of people and the world that inspires them. My areas of interest include Intellectual Property Law, Contract Law, Dispute Resolution and Public Policy.

Nicholas Chong

My name is Nicholas Chong. I am an incoming final year Law LLB student at Queen Mary University of London with particular interests in tort and public international law. I chose to study law due to my desire to examine how the framework of the law shapes conventions and attitudes in modern society. Additionally, the double-edged nature of the legal system intrigued me. On one hand, it can be a major tool to uphold fairness and justice; on the other hand, it can also be wielded as a justification to suppress rights. My main goal is to obtain a training contract and qualify as a solicitor.

I am a mature student reading law, and looking to further my studies with a master's in human rights law. I would like to become an Immigration and Asylum Lawyer to help other Hong Kong citizens obtain permanent residence in the UK as Hong Kong is currently facing political threat; freedom of speech and freedom of the press—which are core values in which I believe—are impacted by the National Security Law. The biggest challenge I currently face is prioritising and balancing my work, family and studies with limited time, energy and resources. I am fortunate enough to find support from my wife and fellow classmates who are always willing to help.
