SMR Solicitors is delighted to be sponsoring an All Rise Workshop (@allriseworkshops) at Bersted Green Primary School this Thursday 22nd February 2024.
The children will experience an immersive legal workshop from All Rise Workshops packed with valuable lessons about our legal system, evidence collection, the complexities of presenting a case, crime scene analysis and constructing a legal argument.
All Rise Workshops is an educational business set up by former lawyer and Chichester teacher, James Stewart, to give young people a knowledge and understanding of the legal system, their rights and responsibilities and how they access justice.
James Stewart at All Rise Workshops is incredibly grateful to SMR Solicitors for sponsoring this workshop.
He said: “I know from my teaching experiences that many children leave school without any understanding of the law. That can significantly impact on their ability to access justice in later life.
“I also know that children as young as ten develop internal barriers that impact on their opportunities and choices as they grow up. With my workshops, I want children to learn about law in a fun and creative way. I want children to leave my workshops feeling empowered and believe that professions like the law are open to them.”
SMR Solicitors Partner, Matthew Field, said: "At SMR Solicitors, we are committed to supporting and helping make a difference to the communities around us.
“Supporting initiatives like All Rise Workshops helps to create a better future for current and future generations. James is passionate about helping young people build skills and gain legal knowledge which will help them build interest in areas they may not have considered and allow them to realise that professions such as the law are available to anyone.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for all involved and SMR are pleased to have been able to support this workshop and hope James will be able to reach more young people by continuing with more workshops in the future.”
