Global Legal Clinic Supervising Solicitor
Southampton Law School is a global Law School, firmly rooted in the UK with a mission to respond to the greatest global challenges that humanity faces. We have a robust internationalisation agenda and as a Law School in the Russell Group (QS ranked 87th) we are committed to research-driven legal education as well as engaged, innovative and impactful scholarship.
Our multi-award-winning Global Law Clinic (GLC) was established with the primary aim of developing students into reflective graduates who can shape the world around them. To achieve this, the GLC offers students the opportunity to take part in human, non-human, and environmental law clinics. As such, the GLC is not simply about providing students with practical legal experience, but to teach students to reflect upon issues such as ethical dilemmas and the impact of law on society.
We intend to strengthen our national and global partnerships with law firms, NGOs, and university law clinics. We also intend to further develop our clinical legal education initiative.
The successful candidate will be a qualified solicitor (England & Wales) or soon to qualify and be eligible for a practising certificate. The new post holder will be required to supervise students working in either our employment law clinic or family law clinic.
