Committee 2026-27

Hi! I'm Roy, a second-year at Exeter College and I am one of your co-chairs for the year! I am so excited to be working on OLA as it is one of the rare opportunities to do pro bono work in uni, and it is a great way to support initiatives to increase access to justice. 

One of my goals is to expand the program more into the local Oxford community, helping to tackle smaller but more down-to-earth issues to better our surrounding town.

Hi, my name’s Emma and I’m a second year law student at Balliol. OLA is such a valuable program to be a part of, both in terms of the support that you provide to the community, but also what you learn beyond the curriculum. 

It’s the only undergraduate pro bono program run through the university - my goal is to change that and expand the provision for students here!

Hi everyone! I’m Camilla, a 2nd year doing Law with European Law at LMH, and I’ll be your Events Co-Ordinator for this year. I wanted to get involved with OLA because I’m really interested in human rights and asylum law, especially since my grandma sought political asylum in the U.S.

My goal for this year is to work on more external volunteer collaborations with other societies, such as Oxford STAR, to directly support local refugees and asylum seekers in Oxford.

Hi! I'm Yuji, a second year law student at Teddy Hall. I was interested in the OLA scheme because I wanted to learn more about immigration and asylum law. I am also deeply committed to ensuring accessibility in the legal system, and pro-bono work is invaluable in achieving this as it redirects legal aid to marginalised and vulnerable individuals. 

My goal as Social Media Coordinator is to spread more awareness on immigration law and to create a space for productive conversation to tackle the social and political stigma surrounding refugees and asylum seekers.
