Nick Armstrong
Nick specialises in public law with a particular focus on education and community care, immigration and asylum and prison law. He also carries out a lot of mental health (particularly capacity) work in the Court of Protection and the High Court, as well as disability discrimination claims and inquests (where they arise in his other practice areas so particularly mental health, immigration and prison facilities). 
 
Nick is particularly interested in cases that arise in one or more of his other areas so acts in a number of claims raising issues of asylum support, children leaving care (including former asylum seekers), and disability discrimination in detention facilities.
 
Nick is a former solicitor having started practice in the Public Law Unit at Irwin Mitchell. Prior to that he was a research fellow at the Nottingham Law School where he completed a PhD and then further research on civil justice reform. He is the editor of 'Education, Public Law and the Individual' and the deputy editor of the UK Human Rights Reports.
