LLM LEGAL PRACTICE COURSE, UNIVERSITY OF LAW
 

As an active member of the Somali and Muslim communities, I have witnessed how disadvantaged these communities are and how difficult it is to find adequate legal advice.

Studying the LLM in Professional Legal Practice at the University of Law with the support of the Aziz Foundation will enhance my legal knowledge so I can give excellent legal advice to both Muslims and non-Muslims. Furthermore, I plan to use this scholarship opportunity to continue shifting cultural attitudes about Muslim women in the legal field.

Growing up, pursuing a career in law was deemed haram (prohibited) especially for a woman. So, by qualifying as a solicitor, I hope to be at the forefront of change in these communities and raise the aspirations of British Muslims.
