“The Foulston Room gives our students hands-on, real-world experience of the court room. With interactive teaching, court room simulation and ‘mooting’, our students get to experience what it is really like to represent clients in court. It is the perfect space to grow confidence and develop craft, and it’s the best possible preparation for future success in their legal careers.” John Matthews, Interim Head of School
When studying law, you’ll get hands-on in the law clinic, genuinely helping those who can’t afford to pay for their own representation.

Whilst working in the law clinic, we had the opportunity to help those who needed it, and have been able to make a positive impact in difficult times. It was also a huge factor in helping me stand out when applying for jobs.
