Hafsa’s first-six supervisor is Una Morris, and her second-six supervisor is Tom Wainwright.

Before pupillage, Hafsa completed an LLM in International Law and Global Justice, writing her dissertation on the Istanbul/Sarajevo Gaza Tribunal.

Previously, Hafsa worked as a Case Investigator at the Miscarriages of Justice Review Centre, researching criminal appeal processes and interviewing a client to support CCRC applications. She also worked as a Research Assistant on the Health Governance after Brexit: Law, Language and Legitimacy project.

Hafsa has also been involved in community advocacy in South Yorkshire. She co-authored a successful petition to Rotherham Council, developing a legal analysis of the Council’s Public Sector Equality Duty under the Equality Act 2010 to frame its case for equal treatment of Palestinian residents. She has represented groups at local and regional council and pension authority meetings. Her experience supporting people through the criminal justice process and her community campaigning inform her interest in protest law.

Background

Before the Bar, Hafsa worked with vulnerable people in a range of roles. She volunteered with Care4Calais, helping to organise food and medical supplies for Spanish-speaking refugees, and with Apna Haq Women’s Charity, supporting its administration and reporting. Hafsa was also an Appropriate Adult for custody suites across South Yorkshire, where she supported young people and vulnerable adults in police detention.
