Ms Grace Hammond

Grace is a Candidate Legal Practitioner at the UCT Law Clinic. She holds a Bachelor of Social Science majoring in Gender Studies and Law, and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Cape Town. 

During her studies at UCT, she was registered in the Legal Practice course which exposed her to the incredibly meaningful work that the UCT Law Clinic does. After completing her LLB, she volunteered at the clinic for 3 months. 

Grace is enthusiastic about children’s rights and social justice. Grace spent the last year gaining international exposure to children’s rights discourse through her involvement in conferences in the United Kingdom and Europe. She has also previously worked as a communications assistant to Elisa Morgera, the United Nations Special Rapporteur for Climate Change Human Rights. 

Grace is committed to ensuring access to justice for the Cape Town community and is grateful to the UCT Law Clinic for allowing her the opportunity to do so.
