Street Law at the Employment Tribunal Launch and Training for 2025/26

Where: Hosted at Cardiff University

When: 5th November 2pm-4pm

Join us for the launch of this year’s collaborative Street Law project between University of South Wales, Swansea University and Cardiff University. The project will see law students from the three universities attending the Employment Tribunal to deliver a hybrid session to litigants in person on ‘Employment Tribunal Procedure and What to Expect in a Hearing’ . The aims of the project are to increase legal awareness, and equip litigants in person with skills and knowledge that will help them in the next stages of their claim at the Tribunal. It is also a valuable opportunity for law students to develop an array of skills, including presentation skills, teamwork and communication skills.

The event will be joined by Richard Steer from Cardiff University and Hannah Menard from University of South Wales.

Citizens’ Barray event at FTB

Join us at Francis Taylor Building in the Temple on Friday 7 November 2025 at 6:30pm, for an informal introduction over drinks to the Sierra Leonean organisation Citizens’ Barray.  Eleanor Thompson, lawyer at Citizens’ Barray, will be present and is keen to introduce those with an interest in the legal system in Sierra Leone to her new organisation.

Citizens’ Barray is a platform for informing, organizing, and innovating, so young Sierra Leonean citizens can lead their communities in community action to challenge the harms they face and shape equitable, just systems in Sierra Leone. Citizens’ Barray believes that lasting and transformative justice solutions are possible when citizens are informed and engaged, i.e. when democracy works.
