This
is the website of The National Community Law Project CIC, a beacon of
hope for those striving to navigate the complex legal landscape. As a
community interest company, it stands firmly on the principle of
enabling rights and providing legal support to individuals facing
significant barriers in accessing legal assistance. Founded in 2020
by Rev. Dr. Dane Marks and Daniel Onafuwa, it aims to make a real
difference in the community.
At the heart of the project is a
dedicated team of law students and graduates, driven by a passion for
justice and a commitment to help. You will find that these volunteers
offer their time and expertise to assist low-income and marginalised
individuals who face challenges in accessing legal support. They
ensure that case facts and supporting evidence are compiled in a
professional manner, presenting each case to legal professionals in
the best possible light. This not only aids the clients but also
provides invaluable experience for the volunteers, honing the skills
necessary for a successful legal career.
Moreover, the project
extends its support beyond legal advice. Recognising the
technological and logistical barriers that many face, such as access
to emails, printers, scanners, or even the internet, the team assists
clients in overcoming these hurdles. This ensures that no one is left
without the help they require.
Volunteering
here provides more than just experience; it immerses you in the
realities of legal practice, particularly in serving those who might
otherwise be unable to access justice. It is a chance to see the
impact of your efforts firsthand and to understand the true value of
legal services in a community context. Furthermore, your time here
counts as qualifying work experience if you are pursuing the
Solicitors Qualifying Examination route, making it an excellent
addition to your professional journey.
In essence, this project
is not just about legal aid; it is about making a difference. It is
about ensuring that the law serves everyone, regardless of their
financial situation. So, if you are looking to develop your legal
career while making a meaningful contribution to society, this is the
perfect place to start. The National Community Law Project CIC is
more than a stepping stone; it is a cornerstone in the foundation of
a fairer, more just society.
