#AccesstoJustice and #communityimpact is at the heart of the Citizens Advice Clinic at The University of Buckingham Law School. This term the lecture series compares the work of a student volunteer assessor with that of a #paralegal #traineesolicitor in private client practice. Dean of Law Adolfo Paolini welcomed Goodman Ray fee-earners Elena Panayi and Rachael Brown to deliver an exceptionally insightful talk on family law practice. Their presentation was a treasure trove of topical issues, ranging from client care engagement in the regulated legal services sector—a crucial topic in the Citizens Advice lecture series—to a thorough exploration of divorce, financial arrangements, and contact orders. Most captivating of all was the deep dive into the complexities of international child cross-border litigation. Thank you to Shabina Begum and the team at Goodman Ray Patricia Covarrubia The Hon Dr Jocelynne A. Scutt
