I am committed to forging a career in law that centers on advocacy. My short-term goal is to qualify as a barrister specialising in financial law and consumer rights, where I aim to champion equitable outcomes for individuals and businesses navigating complex regulatory landscapes. Over time, I aspire to deepen my expertise in these fields, leveraging courtroom advocacy to protect vulnerable parties and uphold accountability in financial systems.
Looking further ahead, my long-term aspiration is to serve as a judge in a senior appellate court. I am driven by the belief that the judiciary plays a pivotal role in shaping fair, precedent-setting decisions—particularly in areas like consumer protection and financial disputes, where systemic imbalances often persist. By bridging rigorous legal analysis with a steadfast commitment to equity, I hope to contribute meaningfully to jurisprudence while fostering public trust in the legal system.

Law LLB
Hi, I'm Melina! A third-year LLB Law student at SOAS university and aspiring solicitor. I've had the opportunity to engage with young people, learn about their aspirations, and support them through their difficulties in the past, and firmly believe prospective students should have easy access to the information they need to make life-changing decisions, such as choosing the right university. That's why I'm excited to be part of this platform, where I can provide honest insights about the law program, the workload, exams, and even the overall environment and culture at SOAS. Whether you're feeling uncertain about your course or just curious about university life, I'd love to share my experiences and help make things a little clearer for you.

Nadim
SOAS
Law LLB
Hey all - My name is Nadim, and I'm an LLB Law finalist (Undergrad).
Hobbies aside, I intend to eventually qualify under the SRA through the SQE down the line as an Employment Solicitor (or in insolvency/debt recovery), but plan to take a gap to gather some Legal work experience. Speaking of... the SOAS Legal clinic, Law society, and careers team have been incredible in helping me secure some Legal volunteering experience!
As a final year, I'd definitely recommend that you put yourself out there by applying to Campus Rep jobs/on-campus promotional positions, society committees, volunteering opportunities etc., even if you're not the most social person; trust me, it'll be fun and worth it, you'll make friends with great people you'd otherwise never have met. That, and it's always nice to have some money in your pocket.
Shout out to upReach, AspiringSolicitors, Bright Network and FutureCityLawyers!
P.s. Also a transferee (transferred from another University in London to SOAS), so please, don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries relating as such (or anything relevant to the above).
