Direct engagement with the housing crisis is the hallmark of this clinical opportunity, where students work alongside the legal professionals at Shelter to provide real-world support for individuals facing homelessness. Rather than merely observing, participants are integrated into the workflow of a national advice charity, gaining exposure to the lifecycle of housing law cases from the initial client intake to the courtroom experience.

Clinical Legal Education in Practice

This initiative bridges the gap between academic study and professional practice by embedding students within the Devon Shelter legal team. You will develop a sophisticated grasp of legal casework, focusing on the practical application of law in high-stakes environments. The experience is designed to bolster your professional toolkit through:

• Conducting rigorous legal research to support active casework.
• Drafting essential legal documentation and evidence bundles.
• Managing case files and maintaining accurate, chronological client records.
• Developing client-facing skills through shadowing interviews and assisting in legal proceedings.

By contributing to Shelter’s mission, participants not only refine their legal research and report-writing capabilities but also gain a profound understanding of the policy and social landscape surrounding the UK housing emergency.
