Whilst working as a freelance advocate, Jake completed his masters (LLM Public Law) at University College London (UCL), receiving a Distinction overall. His thesis was titled "Improving accommodation of religion in the workplace: Legal transplants between the European and American Experiences", which considered how fundamental rights were incorporated into private labour relations in two different jurisdictions (the EU and the US) and whether there was scope for mutual learning. During his time at UCL, Jake sat on the Editorial Board of the UCL Journal of Law and Jurisprudence. He was also a Researcher for the UCL Public International Law Project in his first year. In his second year he acted as a Consultant for the project.
