LLM LEGAL PRACTICE COURSE, UNIVERSITY OF LAW

Law is fundamental to society because it ensures we do not transgress each other’s rights and freedoms. I am committed to pursuing a career in the law so that I can protect and champion the human rights and freedoms of people from all backgrounds including British Muslims.

The LLM Legal Practice course will enable me to qualify as a solicitor and pursue a career in the law. Conducting work experience in the legal field highlighted to me that both British Muslims and people from BAME communities are overrepresented in the criminal justice system and this inspired me to do further research on the factors driving this.

It also made me aware that Muslims were under-represented in the legal profession. Therefore, completion of the LLM will allow me to increase representation of Muslims in the legal profession and ensure that I can provide effective legal advice to the Muslim and wider community.
