I have been asked (and happily agreed) to post this: please spread the word and get in touch if you think they can help you - The Manchester Innocence Project (MIP), at the University of Manchester, is seeking enquiries from people who believe they have been wrongfully convicted of criminal offences, in the Magistrates’ Court, under the Coronavirus Act 2020 and the Health Protection Regulations 2020. Undergraduate law students will assess enquiries, and review the available evidence, before deciding whether to take a case on a pro bono basis. If a case is accepted MIP will partner with law firm(s) to appeal to the Crown Court or apply to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (if appeal is refused or client pleaded guilty) in order to seek a referral to the Crown Court. Enquiries should be sent via email to free.legal@manchester.ac.uk

Mind blown by @halliejaypope at this morning’s Legal Design Summit #LDS2023. Lawyers cannot solve the problem of poverty. But we have an important role to play shifting power and knowledge to those that can - those living in poverty. And legal design is a key tool to do this

I feel so lucky to be at the Legal Design Summit 2023 #LDS2023. Thinking about how to apply legal design to #probono. Spoiler alert - put the end user first

Thank you to everyone who attended the #IJCLE Research Intensive Workshop in Dublin at @LawSocIreland! It's been lovely to catch up with everyone over the last couple of days and we hope you found it useful for your current and future research plans!
