Our Vision

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

We envision a world where all people have a comprehensive understanding of their rights and liberties, the legal system and principles of justice. We aim to ensure no act against rights, liberties or justice occurs covertly or without due reporting.

We envision a legal profession, judiciary and legislature that accurately and equally represents the general populous; a legal profession that provides equal opportunities to those from minority and unconventional backgrounds, a judiciary that accurately represents those individuals who appear before them, and a legislature that considers the impact on all those in society.

We envision an initiative that is able to offer young, minority, disadvantaged and unconventional people aspiring to enter the legal profession a foothold where they are able to gain experience, understanding and transferable skills; offering support sessions and workshops, the chance to gain valuable experience, and networking opportunities.

We envision an initiative that promotes and campaigns for positive change; petitioning local, national and foreign governments to act in the best interest of their citizens, ensuring organisations uphold and protect their employees rights, and supporting and promoting campaigns which match our values.
