Law for All Society: Blog Supervisor

Hi I'm Haleema, a first year BSc Psychology student with the intention of pursuing a legal career. My passion for human rights and international law was triggered by cases of global injustice. If given this role, I aim to provide factual information free from bias. As a passionate writer, combined with my empathy for oppressed peoples, I became an amnesty international advocate during high school; this involved assisting younger students to write articles on injustice, with a focus on refugees: highly relevant considering the current affairs. As an activist, I have attended demonstrations on topics close to my heart and am eager to spread awareness, having also fought for injustices in school. Being eco-society lead, I was implementing initiatives to reduce food waste. I was also involved in a microfinance program raising funds for small businesses in impoverished nations. As an open-minded individual, I believe my strengths lie in being balanced, passionate and articulate, which make me a confident public speaker. I excel in essay-writing so would understand the role of making the society's blogs engaging and appealing for all. As a British-Pakistani female, I believe my voice would be beneficial in providing diverse opinions and new perspectives. I am a committed individual,  thus willing to dedicate my time to the demands of this role. If I am elected, you can guarantee a professional representation of this society! 

Hi! I am a first-year LLB Laws student, and it would be my honour to serve as Blog Supervisor for LFA. I served as blog editor for the current year, which involved content writing and editing on topics ranging from tech to vaccine patents. Hence, I am familiar with the operations of the blog, and have a good understanding of the potential of our platform as well as ways to leverage it to be of high value to those interested in law. Through an internship with a US magazine, I produced and edited articles reflecting on current events and grew our magazines’ reach internationally. Furthermore, I have experience in growing writing-based platforms through my current job with a startup company, as I successfully led the curation and growth of our newsletter, which entailed studying the strategy of over 20 blogs and newsletters in the industry and creating a structure that reflected our audiences’ needs. 

Priorities:

Diversifying our range of article coverage by:

• Incorporating more structure into article coverage to reflect our audiences’ needs 
• Introducing news roundups on relevant legal news 

Expanding our career section to include content such as:

• interviews with associates, law firms, and other legal personnel on insights and tips (what firms look for, interview tips, etc)
• takeaways from various networking opportunities with firms
• guides (with key deadlines) to various networking and work experience opportunities in the city
