ELF aims to bridge the gap between black letter law and everyday life. We want to build a community in the School where students can think critically and creatively about the law, all while honing essential skills. ELF enables students to define their own interest in law and legal practice beyond textbooks. In practice, this means looking at how justice, equality work in the everyday and how the law can be changed, transformed, and critiqued. We do this through a variety of skill-based and creative activities, from voice coaching workshops, book clubs, film events and tech panels.
