Prior to commencing pupillage, Eleanor obtained a First-Class degree in Law with Criminology. During this time, she managed the Brighton University Pro Bono Legal Clinic where she gained valuable experience in providing clients with legal advice on issues involving domestic abuse and the Victims’ Right to Review scheme, as well as housing and environmental matters. She continued developing this experience whilst studying for the BPC and Masters in Law (LLM) where she worked at a pro bono legal centre in Birmingham guiding clients through the process of applying for non-molestation orders and restraining orders. She has also received training from Women’s Aid for domestic abuse hotlines and gained experience in benefits tribunals.
