Advancing the JUSTICE Student Network
Grant: £20,000
November 10, 2015
Advancing the JUSTICE Student Network (JSN) will build upon the initial success of developing the JUSTICE Student Human Rights Network microsite and increased engagement with the student community. While much of initial objectives of the project (supported by the LEF) have been achieved there is still much to develop.
This project is multi-faceted in its objectives, intending to equip students with a practical understanding of how lawyers can work to strengthen the justice system and the rights of individuals within it. It is also designed to encourage contact between students and practitioners. This experience cannot be obtained from normal academic or vocational programmes. By drawing upon our unique history, experience and membership, a comprehensive JSN website will make a valuable contribution to legal education.
The site will contain a selection of unique resources designed to support academic legal education and to encourage interest in public interest law. Additionally, a key aspect of this project is the hiring of a JSN Fellow to carry out the work. The fellow will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the JSN, organising events, liaising with students and practitioners and coordinating the new ‘A Day in the Life of Justice’ initiative.

BHT Pro Bono
Grant: £10,000
November 10, 2015
BHT Pro Bono is a collaborative clinical law project initiated between Brighton Housing Trust (‘BHT’) and Sussex University's Law Department, where law students are placed at BHT's Legal Advice Centre in central Brighton, to gain experience in housing and legal aid advice provision. The aim of this project is to develop a digital advice unit.
The assistance the students can give will not only be in the traditional form of face-to-face, over the counter client-based work, but also delivered through an online portal currently being developed by BHT, part of the ‘Advice Brighton and Hove’ technology strategy ‘Digital Inclusion’.

Realising the Legal Rights of Migrant Children and Young People in Practice
Grant: £120,000
November 10, 2015
This project will develop new, innovative training and capacity-building interventions aimed at professionals, carers and young people to further our objective of improving the implementation of children and young people's rights in practice.
This proposal builds upon an existing training programme, which seeks to build capacity amongst non-legal professionals e.g. social workers. To enhance this practice-improvement work, Coram are seeking to develop complementary legal education interventions for additional beneficiaries:
By supporting professionals who are at the coalface of implementing children’s rights Coram are ensuring a comprehensive approach to improving the experiences of a group of children amongst those most at risk of breaches of their legal rights.
Through this project Coram aim to directly train and support 510 professionals and young people, and provide resources and remote training to over 3000 per year.

The new SEN Law benefits children and young people from the ages of 0 – 25. The new definition of “young person” covers those aged 16 to 25 years old.
