Project Overview
This OIL project takes place in Coventry Law School’s advocacy programme and involves four students from Newcastle and Shaun McCarthy who is the Director of the Newcastle Law Clinic at the University of Newcastle.
The purpose of the OIL project is for CU students to explain how their advocacy clinic works and to discuss with NU students the type of cases they have dealt with. It will conclude with a mock interview where NU students interview a fictitious client and follow this up at a later date with a mock tribunal hearing.
