Emma Ritch Law Clinic

That this House commends the Emma Ritch Law Clinic at the University of Glasgow School of Law for being highly commended by the judges in the Best New Pro Bono Activity category at the 2025 Law Works and Attorney General’s Student Pro Bono Awards; recognises the Clinic's pioneering work as the first of its kind in the UK, providing independent legal advice and representation in sexual violence cases, supporting more than 30 individual clients and advocacy workers in relation to often complex issues of criminal evidence and procedure; notes that students overwhelmingly report the value of their experiential learning through the pro bono activities; and congratulates the students and staff involved for their dedication and contributions to pro bono activities.
