The Association of Muslim Lawyers has been active since 1993 and since its official launch in 1995 its membership and influence have been steadily growing. The various talks, seminars, conferences and careers workshops organized by AML since its inception have helped bring Muslim lawyers together - both professionally and socially - and have helped them to help not only the Muslim community in the United Kingdom, but also society as a whole: The relatively recent arrival of Muslims in the British Isles has already had a positive effect in many ways. Based on divine revelation, Islam has always acted as a filter - which retains what is good in a society while removing what is harmful. This is an ongoing process, which like health is in need of constant attention and action. Part of this process of change and transformation is the review of existing laws and the introduction of new ones, particularly as regards those regulating religious discrimination and usury. test Aims and Objectives of AML * To promote the provision of legal advice and assistance to anyone in need of justice, irrespective of their nationality, ethnic or racial origins, colour, gender, or religious beliefs. * To promote the legal rights of Muslims and the availability of advice in accordance with the Shariah of Islam. * To promote research into both the Shariah and English law with regard to specific social, political and legal issues, and to hold seminars and publish the results of any such research. * To facilitate the achievement of a fair and just society by means such as increasing understanding, educating and lobbying. * To facilitate entry into the legal profession for men and women, and to assist them in the furtherance of their legal development. * To liaise and co-operate with any other individuals or organizations who are willing and able to assist in the realization of these Objectives. * To do all such things as shall be conducive to the attainment of the above.
