Are
you a 2nd or 3rd year law student or a student on the
2-year intensive law degree?
Would
you like to become involved in the new pilot Streetlaw Project?
The
University of Northampton Student Law Society with support from staff in the
Law Division are setting up a Streetlaw Project to run early next term for 6
weeks.
A
Streetlaw Project is a project which involves students researching a particular
area of law which is of concern to a community group. At the end of the project the students will
stage an interactive workshop with the community group. This will ensure that the community group is
aware of their legal rights and responsibilities and how the legal system can
be used to protects those rights and responsibilities.
By
becoming involved in the Streetlaw project students will enhance their own
learning and will also improve their practical skills – especially research and
presentation skills. In order to be chosen to take part in the project you need
to demonstrate that you will be a reliable and committed member of the team.
If
you become involved in the project it will look great on your CV. You will also receive training from the
University Centre for Employability and Engagement in project management and
presentation skills.
If you would like
to find out more then please come along to a meeting in the Naseby Open Space
on Wednesday 4 December at 11am.
