Criminal/Prison Paralegal

I am looking to work as a criminal and/or prison paralegal. I am particularly eager to train as a police station representative. I am keen to gain as much practical experience as possible and so would be willing to engage in a range of duties.

I have obtained a 2:1 degree in law and did particularly well in criminal and public law where I obtained a first overall. I completed the Bar Vocational Course (“BVC”) with a grade of Very Competent and was called to the Bar in July 2011. I am currently a studying at the University of Birmingham for an LLM in Criminal Law and Criminal Justice specialising in transnational crimes and human rights.

I am a strong advocate and received excellent feedback from tutors throughout the BVC. In February last year I reached the semi-final of the Inner Temple’s Lawson Moot Competition and as a volunteer for a local mental health charity I regularly represented people in court in presenting their bankruptcy petitions. In this role I also represented people in interviews with their insolvency practitioners.

I am willing to provide a CV on request as well as access to my professional portfolio which contains DVD copies of my advocacy performances and feedback from tutors.

If you are interested in this candidate please email contactus@liverpoollawsociety.org.uk, quoting reference CT159.

I have experience of judicial review for prison cases involving delays to Parole Board hearings. I also have experience of the Probation Service and have provided informal advice.
