AMINA AHMED
LLM LEGAL PRACTICE COURSE, UNIVERSITY OF LAW
I aspire to qualify as a solicitor, not only to pursue my passion in the area of defending human rights, but to also remove the barriers Muslims face when accessing legal services.
Half of the Muslim population live within 10% of the poorest areas in Britain, therefore the significant cuts that have been made to legal aid have disproportionately affected Muslim communities. It is my goal to support such vulnerable individuals and work on providing real access to justice through alternative routes. I’m passionate about social justice as much as I am about increasing diversity within the profession.
hope as a Muslim woman, I can make valuable changes to increase the representation and inclusion of Muslims within the legal profession.
