Sophie Howard
Student, University College London Laws
Sophie Howard is a student at University College London where she is completing a specialist LL.M in International law. Having previously graduated in law from the University of Manchester, Sophie has decided to extend the opportunity to enhance innovative legal problem solving within legal spheres such as human rights, international criminal law and gender within her LL.M.
Whilst studying for her undergraduate degree, Sophie participated in many pro-bono programmes such as the Manchester Legal advice Centre and East Manchester Project aimed at helping to inform the local community of their legal rights and providing easily accessible legal aid to those most in need.
Additionally, Sophie has engaged in multinational opportunities such as work experience carried out in Kuala Lumpur with Shearn Delamore & Co engaging in complex work within the Intellectual Property and Litigation departments. Alongside this she was introduced and influenced by the unique criminal and civil court system of Malaysia resulting in a strong drive to work within an international organisation such as the UN from a human rights perspective.
Alongside this Sophie is a keen sportsperson, participating to high levels in Netball, Hockey, Street Dance and Athletics. Sophie is originally from Henley-On-Thames (where an inevitable past time is to sip Pimms whilst watching the rowing at the Henley Regatta) but currently lives in London.
