Hauwa Shehu

LLM INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC LAW, JUSTICE & DEVELOPMENT, BIRKBECK UNIVERSITY OF LONDON

I am a Barrister working for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) with experience across the breadth of criminal offences from international organised crime and extradition to cases involving drugs, sexual offences, youth justice, domestic violence and hate crime. I chair the CPS Muslim Network and am Mentoring Co-ordinator for the CPS BAME Staff Network.

Outside of work I am a teacher in my local Madrasa and a member of the core management team of ‘the Hive’, an award winning, bespoke women’s centre, supported by Al Madina Mosque in Barking and Dagenham.

This LLM will enable me to gain skills and knowledge about how historical, current and future international developments and crisis impact on the justice system and our communities.
