Hub lead Charlotte O’Brien wins “Legal Academic of the Year” Award

EU Rights & Brexit Hub lead Prof Charlotte O'Brien has won the  prestigious "Legal Academic of the Year" at the "Inspirational Women in Law Awards 2022".

This is a huge endorsement for advice-led ethnography, and the value of our work at the Hub to the legal advice sector.

In giving the award to Charlotte, the Next 100 Years team said:

"Charlotte is a pioneering legal academic. She is working to develop legal action research methods that provide legal advice to frontline advisers with complex welfare cases involving EU citizens. This award recognises her pioneering and inspirational work in the legal academic field, and we are delighted to announce her as the Legal Academic of the Year for 2022.

The Inspirational Women in Law Awards seek to identify individuals from across the legal profession who are leading the way in improving equality and diversity. The awards recognise those who are both excelling in their areas of practice and are working for the changes needed to ensure women working in the law are able to thrive. The awards are part of the "Next 100 Years" programme - a project dedicated to achieving equality for women in law.
