"Advocacy to me extends outside the courtroom."

Lucy grew up on council estates. She went into care at 13 and fell off the “care cliff” at 16. Aged 18, she studies law at Surrey. She is now a barrister. Alongside her legal career, she set up charity Lawyers Who Care and is a vocal advocate for children's rights and social mobility for disadvantaged young people.
