Final year University of Sussex law students from the ‘StreetLaw Clinic’ team were delighted to work with Varndean Sixth Form College A Level Law students on a bespoke ‘Practical Legal Skills: Law in Context’ programme. Over the course of three sessions during this last half term, the StreetLaw team designed and delivered interactive sessions including the key legal skills of client interviewing and presenting arguments in court.
The StreetLaw team (Alfred, Kimia, Elise & Ashley), pictured, were impressed firstly that the Varndean cohort gave up their lunchtimes to join them, and secondly, by how engaged and articulate they were. Commenting on the programme, the StreetLaw team said: “We loved working with the Varndean Sixth Form College students on this programme and were blown away by how well they handled everything we threw at them! We’re sure that if they go on to study Law at university, they’ll do really well!”
Thank you to Jeanette Ashton, Associate Professor in Law at the University of Sussex and StreetLaw lead, for coordinating this.
