Ms Jennifer Morgan

I am a qualified immigration and asylum lawyer and lead our award-winning immigration student pro bono activities. I was previously a supervising lawyer in the Law Clinic at University of Bristol and worked for national charities such as Citizens Advice Bureau and Immigration Advisory Service. I also co-lead the LLB module Immigration Law, Policy and Practice.

My pro bono project, The Fresh Claims Project, is a partnership between the department and local charity Asylum Justice. The project provides advice, casework and representation for destitute refused asylum seekers in Wales. The project is funded by Welsh Government. Students gain unique experience of asylum law practice in the real world environment of a legal advice charity. In 2026, the project won Best New Pro Bono Activity in the UK at the LawWorks and Attorney General Student Pro Bono Awards, and the Pro Bono Award at the Legal News Wales Awards. 

My previous immigration pro bono project - Ukraine Project Cymru - ran for two years and won the Cardiff and District Law Society Award for Best Access to Justice Initiative in 2023.  

My academic interest surrounds access to justice for immigrants and asylum seekers, immigration/asylum law and policy, immigration practice skills, employability and immigration careers (especially for the legal aid/charity sector). 

I also teach on the first year LLB modules of Legal Foundations and the Constitution and Public Law.
