Description
The Lawyers Without Borders University of Bristol Student Division is a chapter of the globally established Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Lawyers Without Borders. We are part of an international network of volunteer lawyers and law students from around the world who offer pro bono services to rule of law projects, capacity building and access to justice initiatives.
We aim to offer all University of Bristol students a range of opportunities to be involved in meaningful legal research projects, as well as a community of students interested in human rights and international law.
Events
We hold a human rights moot competition every year for Bristol students and also take part in the annual Lawyers Without Borders National Rule of Law Competition, competing against other universities from around the country.
Aside from supporting the main organisation, we are also an established society within the University of Bristol. This means we will have social networking events with supporting international law firms. These social and networking events are prime opportunities for members of this society to broaden their connections and further their careers.
