Juliet-Nil Uraz

Juliet-Nil Uraz is a PhD candidate at the London School of Economics and currently a Visiting Research Fellow at Opportunity Insights, Harvard. Her research lies at the intersection of public economics, public finance and empirical legal studies. She is particularly interested in disentangling the impacts of access to legal assistance on eviction, benefits takeup, health and economic inequalities.
She works with Policy in Practice, a UK social start-up that harnesses administrative benefits data to design poverty alleviation interventions. She also collaborates with the UK Legal Aid Practitioners Group to measure the hidden workload of legal aid lawyers, and with the Justice Data Observatory of the American Bar Foundation to map access to justice initiatives globally.
She holds an M.Res. from the Paris School of Economics and an LL.M. from the European University Institute. Prior to her PhD, she worked at the European Systemic Risk Board and contributed to the World Political Cleavages and Inequality book project.
