Start date: September 2022
Research topic: Considering the lawyer/client relationship between children claimin asylum in their own right and those who represent them.
Taking a legal anthropology approach, I will be considering how the relationship between children who are claiming asylum in their own right and those who represent them. This relationship will be viewed through the lens of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The position of children in the asylum system will also be compared to children in other legal proceedings in England and Wales, such as Family or Criminal proceedings.
