| Bail Advice Scheme | |
| Short Description | |
Students advise a client detained by the Immigration Service on a bail application. |
|
| Long Description | |
Taking part in the scheme provides students with the opportunity to advise a client in immigration detention. Working in groups of 2 or 3, students visit a client in an immigration removal centre, take instructions and conduct follow-up research. They also manage the client's file and draft a letter of advice. BVC students at Bloomsbury then represent the client in court. To take part, students must complete an induction including a training session and observe 2 contested bail hearings at the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber). Students are supervised by a solicitor with experience in immigration. |
