King's Legal Clinic

The School offers students the chance to engage in real client work through King's Legal Clinic, where students work with qualified lawyers offering a range of pro-bono services to members of the community.

Prizes 

The School is fortunate to be able to offer a range of prizes to its students during their studies. Prizes are awarded to those who have excelled academically or shown substantial progression from one year to the next. 

We offer over 60 undergraduate prizes ranging from £20 to £1,000. Prizes are either funded by the School or made possible by the generous sponsorship from our partners including law firms such as Clifford Chance LLB, One Brick Court, Slaughter & May and many others. 

A full list of prizes is available on the intranet (for King's students and staff only) 

My experience at King’s was defined by its strong, diverse community. The Dickson Poon School of Law boasts a truly international student body, bringing knowledge, culture and perspectives from around the world.
