SLAC started as a pilot project in London in April 2022, in response to the Nationality and Borders Act and in recognition of the increasingly important role that strategic litigation is playing in the fight to challenge injustice.
SLAC creates a space for legal experts to meet with NGOs in the asylum, refugee and migrant sector to discuss legal remedies, including strategic litigation, for the emerging and existing issues faced by their clients. The meetings foster knowledge and idea sharing, relationship building, and collaboration around strategic legal work. SLAC also delivers a training programme on strategic litigation.
We invite applications to volunteer for the SLAC Steering Committee. Joining the steering committee will provide an exciting opportunity to contribute to SLAC’s development, ensuring we meet the needs of the sector, and meet our goals of fostering a more collaborative approach to strategic litigation and increasing capacity and confidence around strategic litigation. We would welcome applications from NGOs, community and grassroots groups, and legal practitioners in the refugee, asylum and migration sector.
The application pack and application form can be downloaded below. Applications close at 5pm on Tuesday 28 May 2024. Please email slac@ilpa.org.uk if you have any questions.
