The Justice First fellowship

Growing the next generation of social justice lawyers is vital for a well-rounded legal system.  This episode explores the brilliant Justice First Fellowship programme which provides training opportunities within a range of charities and social justice law firms to create graduate roles to qualification. In this episode Fran welcomes Deborah Acquaah (who manages the Justice First Fellowship within the Legal Education Foundation) and Myriam Naoual (a Justice First Fellow).  They explain this brilliant programme giving opportunities for training and development in the social justice sector.  They describe the sense of community Fellows have, and how the programme helps create change makers in the sector.
