The Open Justice activities have not only provided a diversity of work experience available to me as a student living in a remote location. But the opportunity at a critical juncture in my legal journey to reflect on why as a mature student I was undertaking this difficult and expensive path. Experienced and supportive tutors in an inclusive and accessible programme allowed me to realign my motivations. The experience will always provide me with a point of reference to ensure my practice reflects my passion for greater access to social justice.

This opportunity changed my life. I had a great team and tutor that helped boost my confidence, giving me the ability to make the most of the skills I had and work on new skills. I worked with the FLC on a complex criminal case which I thoroughly enjoyed; I have also been accepted to further work with the FLC. This experience has resulted in my growth as a person and professionally. I intend to go into pro bono work in the future.
