At New Park Court Chambers, we do things a little differently. With a total of 74 barristers, including 13 King’s Counsel, our reach and influence stretches far beyond the bounds of our Circuit.
As a Tier 1 Set based in Leeds and Newcastle we are home to a number of high profile and nationally and internationally reputable Counsel.
Miah completed her First Six under the supervision of Nick Lane. During this period, she developed extensive insight into the prosecution and defence of Crown Court offences, including sexual offences, assaults, burglary, possession of drugs, coercive and controlling behaviour, and fraud. Successful completion of the Advocacy for Children in Conflict with the Law course means that Miah is able to represent children and young people sensitively and effectively. During pupillage, she also gained experience in Family and Civil matters.
Before pupillage, Miah worked as a Mayoral Assistant to a newly elected politician. During this role, she implemented “The Survivors’ Panel”. This project brings survivors of abuse with key professionals to create improvements for future survivors. Additionally, Miah worked at a charity that supported Black and minoritised women who had experienced honour-based abuse. During this period, she initiated and created a pro bono law clinic by working with local solicitors to support clients with their legal challenges.
Miah previously volunteered at Liberty (an NGO), providing legal advice to clients with civil liberty queries. She currently volunteers for The School Consent Project, which requires teaching legal workshops on sexual consent to children and young people.
During University, Miah was selected to study Politics at Aarhus University, Denmark and Law at The University of Toronto, Canada. She was awarded a First Class in her Law degree, graduating in the top 0.5% of her Humanities Cohort. During her studies, Miah achieved the following awards and scholarships: Dean’s Award for Achievement, The University of Manchester (2021), RG Lawson Prize, The University of Manchester (2021), Nottingham Law School Scholarship for Academic Excellence (2023), No.1 High Pavement Chambers Advocacy Competition (2023) and Ann Goddard Scholarship, Gray’s Inn (2024).
