Stephanie’s story
“Employers love the Clinic, which has helped many students progress to careers in policy, advocacy and research. Some have joined the Civil Service Fast Stream. One graduate used their Clinic experience to intern at an organisation that they later returned to as Head of the Legal Team, while another is now on the Commission rewriting the constitution of South Sudan.” Stephanie BerrySenior Lecturer in Human Rights LawRead Stephanie’s story
