Clinical Legal Education

The School of Law at Queen Mary University of London has a long-standing history of building “learning by doing”, practical experiences into its education, at both an undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Undergraduate

Our students can experience a range of clinical legal experience through their participation in our high-profile Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre, which has won numerous awards since it opened in 2006. The Centre focuses on a collaborative approach to education which brings together, the legal profession, undergraduate law students and our local community. It works to increase access to justice in the community and instil this ethos in our student cohort. The Centre also runs two clinical modules; The Practice of Law in a Clinical Environment and Public Legal Education and Community Street Law.

Postgraduate

At postgraduate level, our qLegal service offers Queen Mary students the opportunity to work under the supervision of lawyers from our partner firms, advising start-ups and entrepreneurs on issues ranging from intellectual property to data protection, and business set-up to commercial contracts.
