As part of her research on the NERC project on robotics and law, she organised and led an interdisciplinary conference at the University with attendees from across the country in industry, academia, and government. Angela’s experience with the Faraday ‘ReLib’ Project focussed on recycling lithium-ion electric vehicle batteries in which she engaged with the European Commission in Brussels and collaborated across different universities and individuals from departments such as business, economics, and metallurgy and materials.

 

Advocacy and pro bono work:

Angela is passionate about advocacy and pro bono. She is a member of the Centre for Employability, Professional Legal Education and Research (CEPLER) group currently as a supervisor on the pro bono team and was previously the client interviewing lead.

Angela successfully progressed the CEPLER client interviewing programme over a period of two years as lead. She developed the school’s delivery of client interviewing internally, coaching students to the national finals of the national competition in both years, and expanded the school’s national presence in the national competition in 2024, where BLS hosted the national finals of the competition. Keen to help develop other areas, Angela currently supervises a group of over thirty students on a family law project in collaboration with barristers from a local chambers to help litigants in person navigate proceedings.
