Bangor University Law Society
Street Law
Street Law aims to distribute useful legal knowledge to people in the local communities who would not normally have easy access to the legal issues and information that might affect them. The project sees Bangor Law students delivering interactive presentations on topics including Criminal Law, Consumer Law and Employment Law free of charge to organisations such as Youth Clubs, the WI and secondary schools.
Street Law is a community-based, student-run project that aims to improve legal understanding amongst local people. The venture was established by two Bangor University Law School students, Iwan Emlyn Jones and Joshua Simpson, in 2010.
Iwan and Joshua conceived the idea following a BPP open day in Manchester, feeling that there could be more provisions available to Law students considering careers away from the legal industry, in areas such as education. The project is an excellent opportunity for students to develop presentation, research, team work and public speaking skills – all highly sought-after skills in any field of employment. It also serves as an educational aid by enabling students to apply what they have learnt during the course of their studies in a practical and non-legal environment.
Street Law's first ever appointment was at the Women's Institute in Menai Bridge, Anglesey, where they delivered a presentation on Consumer Law.
