After graduation, she stayed in Liverpool for nearly 10 years as she ‘completely fell in love’ with the city. She worked as a lawyer practicing in civil liberties with a focus on inquests and inquires before qualifying as a solicitor. In 2017 she was awarded the Liverpool Law Society Junior Lawyer of the Year.
Passionate about protecting human rights, Alice says she was fortunate to be able to work on the Liverpool Law Clinic’s Hillsborough project in her final year which gave her the opportunity to experience human rights law in action and encouraged her to pursue a career as a human rights lawyer.
Of her volunteering work within the Liverpool Law School she says: “I’ve really enjoyed supporting the School and in particular the Liverpool Law Clinic, training and working alongside students and speaking at events. The pro bono opportunities given to students are invaluable and were a huge help to me as the start of my career – the least I can do is give back.”
Alice was part of an inspirational panel to celebrate International Women’s Day in 2019 and is also a mentor on the Liverpool Law School Professional Mentoring programme. She hopes by working with the Clinic she can help and encourage more students to pursue a career in legal aid and human rights as she says there is always a need for more enthusiastic and passionate lawyers.
