Mr Lionel Soupen

I am one of the supervising attorneys at the UCT Law Clinic and I have been in the position since March 2017. Prior to joining the UCT Law Clinic I held a similar post at the UKZN Law Clinic. I have a keen interest in public interest law which therefore fits in with the work done by Law Clinics.

I also have an educational background having taught as a school teacher for a number of years prior to joining the legal profession. The work done by the Law Clinic as far as mentoring, lecturing and supervising law students fits in with the teaching aspect of my training which I am passionate about.
