‘Improving justice is an ambitious but worthy endeavour.’

Welcome to the UKLSA – a charitable organisation with the primary goal of contributing to improving justice and equality.

We focus on future lawyers – law students, law graduate and early career lawyers, including:

• Providing support to improve access to the profession, which in turn would enable a profession more representative of society;
• Raising awareness of the dangers of inequality and advantages of equality – inequality being contagious; and
• Raising awareness of the realities of access to justice and how access can be improved.

Why we carry out our work?

• We work for better legal training because today’s students and trainees are the future officers of justice, and therefore key to tomorrow’s justice for all.
• We promote equal access to justice because ‘equality (in access to justice) is the heart of justice‘.
• We promote equal access to the profession because a legal system which is representative of the vast variability of the population is a prerequisite to justice for all.
• We promote awareness of equality because a sense of equality is essential for stakeholders / officers of the justice system, and therefore it improves justice.
• We provide a platform for dissemination of quality research, and promote legal thinking, because these are tools which all people can use to give their contributing to justice.
• We provide a platform for international knowledge exchange and collaborations because that leads to faster progress towards improved justice.
