Kent Law Clinic\u2019s weekly Tuesday meeting was led by the Student Committee Vice-Chair Terrie<\/p>\n
Student Committee updates:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Case Discussion Session \u2013 Impact of Brexit on EU citizens + Law Clinic outreach opportunity for students<\/b><\/p>\n Law Clinic Director Graham Tegg, a specialist in the rights of free movement of EU nationals, is asking law students to form a new outreach group at the next Case Discussion Session on Wednesday (6 February). The group is a new ‘street law’ initiative that aims to 1) inform members of the Roma community in Kent about their rights as EU citizens in the UK post-Brexit and 2) empower the Roma community with the knowledge to navigate the process of applying for settled status. At Wednesday’s meeting, Graham will present the details of two recent cases that will help law students learn the rules around making an application for settled status. The next step will be to travel out to the Roma community in various locations around Kent so that students can pass on the knowledge.<\/p>\n All students are welcome to attend the meeting which begins at 3pm in the main Law Clinic office –\u00a0the more that come, the greater the chance of being able to make a real difference to the local Roma community. A follow-up meeting (to which ALL law students are welcome) will be held at 3pm on Wednesday 13 February in the Law Clinic.<\/p>\n (The new Case Discussion Sessions have been organised by the Law Clinic\u2019s Student Committee in response to student demand for more opportunities to discuss Law Clinic cases. The first session, held in January, featured an in-depth discussion of two family law cases with Clinic Solicitor Philippa Bruce.)<\/p>\n To keep up-to-date with all the latest news and events from the Law Clinic, keep an eye on the\u00a0Clinic noticeboard<\/strong>\u00a0(in the main office of the Clinic) and\/or\u00a0subscribe to the Clinic mailing list<\/a>: kls-clinic@kent.ac.uk<\/p>\n All welcome to attend the Law Clinic\u2019s weekly meetings held at 2pm on Tuesdays in term time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
