Featured Submissions
Voices from the field.
Read the latest pieces from orphaned law students across our network — writing on human rights, justice, and the issues that affect them most.
Your voice. Your law. Your platform.
Orphans in Law is a dedicated writing space for law students and young legal minds who are orphans — inviting them to explore, challenge, and write about human rights as it affects the orphan child. This is not a theoretical exercise. These are the people who have lived the experience and studied the law. Their perspective is uniquely powerful — and it belongs on the page.
Built on partnership.
Through our partnerships with Nigerian universities and affiliated organisations working to support vulnerable communities and wrongly convicted inmates, we are building a network of orphaned student writers whose work will be published and amplified here. If your university or organisation works with orphaned students and would like to get involved, we would love to hear from you.
