Alex Temple has joined The Legal Education Board as a Governor.

Alex is a qualified solicitor working for Bindmans Solicitors on their Public Law and Human Rights team. He trained at Just for Kids Law, specialising in education and youth justice. Upon qualifying, he worked in both law and policy to bring about positive change for children missing education. At Just for Kids Law, he designed and launched the School Exclusions Hub, a web-based toolkit to improve access to justice for young people facing exclusion from school.

Matthew Smerdon, TLEF CEO says: “We are delighted to welcome Alex as a Governor of the Foundation. Alex was part of the 2016 cohort of the Justice First Fellowship and has since gone on successfully to forge a career as a social justice lawyer. The Foundation chose to recruit a Governor from the JFF alumni to provide additional perspectives to the board, particularly from someone at an early stage in their career who is working in a frontline legal advice role.”
