About the Law, Finance and Systems Change Research Clinic听听

Summary听听

ClientEarth is presently conducting a systems change in finance project that seeks to identify:听听

1. the legal structures, rules and conventions that set and enforce the deep code of today鈥檚 toxic and self-serving financial system, blocking the emergence of alternatives (a primarily diagnostic exercise); and听听听

2. the alternative legal structures, rules or conventions that would activate the emergence of an alternative system in which finance flows into and supports economic activities that benefit people and planet (leverage points).听听

The core aim of the project (鈥淧roject Pandora鈥�) is to produce a roster of high-level ideas that will inform ClientEarth鈥檚 future work in the financial sector. 听

In the Law, Finance and Systems Change Research Clinic, guided by ClientEarth and the UCL Faculty of Laws, students will be tasked with developing the ideas generated in Project Pandora, and other related ideas from academia, through legal and public policy research. 听听

The core anticipated output from the clinic (to be produced in/around April 2024) will be a student-led 5-10 page policy brief, addressed to ClientEarth, summarising work exploring some of the most promising legal avenues for reform that could shift the financial system onto a more sustainable, regenerative footing. Where students identify promising potential legal leverage points that have not been considered in Project Pandora, they will also be encouraged to explore and develop those ideas as well (if they so wish). Work product from the clinic will be used to inform ClientEarth鈥檚 future legal interventions in the financial sector. 听

Other outputs from the clinic may include (subject to capacity and student appetite, amongst others):听听

• one or more external facing policy papers addressed to relevant policymakers or stakeholders;听听

• submissions to relevant public consultations or bodies; and/or听听

• the hosting of, or participation in, relevant events or discussions with relevant stakeholders (potentially including 宅男视频 own internal policy institutions).听听

Role and Responsibilities听

The Law, Finance and Systems Change Research Clinic will take place over two terms.听听

In term 1 (October 鈥� December 2024), the focus will be on research and discussion of the following essential building blocks that necessarily underpin policy work on the subject of law, finance and systems change. Research and discussion groups will cover:听听

1. aspects of company law and financial regulation that are crucial to understanding the current challenges with reconciling financial systems with the interests of people and planet;听

2. essential concepts, models and ideas in the field and practice of systems thinking;听听

3. some of the most exciting, important or influential ideas in academia and practice regarding leverage points for rewiring the global financial system; and听

4. ClientEarth鈥檚 conclusions from Project Pandora.听

The specific term 2 (January 鈥� April 2025) schedule will be subject to progress, outcomes and feedback regarding the content of term 1, but is likely to involve group research projects relevant to specific potential legal leverage points e.g. alternative corporate governance models that could activate a more sustainable financial system and policy incentives or reforms to encourage their introduction or greater use. The overarching term 2 aim will be to transform high level ideas into actionable insights for policymakers and practitioners.听听

Throughout the clinic, students will meet in-person at least once every two weeks (but no more than once a week). 听These meetings will typically take place on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday in the late afternoon / early evening (this is to be confirmed). Between these meetings, students will be expected to conduct 2-2.5 hours of research. The aim will be for meetings to involve as much group discussion as possible (although some teaching will be required). 听听

Estimated time commitment: 3.5 - 4 hours every two weeks. Please note that this will be an in-person clinic - students will be expected to attend sessions in-person rather than online as a general rule and absent mitigating circumstances. 听

CAJ Mandatory Volutneer Training听

In addition to ClientEarth's internal training,听all students be required to听complete the CAJ Mandatory Volunteer training, which covers data protection and confidentiality, working with vulnerable clients, professional conduct and regulation, self-care, and our expectations of CAJ volunteers.

Pro Bono Skills Development Framework 听

The Centre for Access to Justice now offers all students engaged in voluntary pro bono the opportunity to participate in the听Pro听Bono听Skills听Development Framework. This framework allows you to reflect on the听skills听gained during your placement, aligned with the听听Completing it earns you a Certificate of Commitment to听Pro听Bono, acknowledging your dedication and skill development. Your participation will help you document and showcase the valuable competencies you've developed, however, please note that participation in the PBSDF scheme is entirely voluntary and will not affect your placement in any way.
