Richard Huish College student, Lucy Halley (pictured third from right), recently attended the final of the Doughty Street Chambers Law Essay Writing Competition and was awarded second prize.
The competition was won by a third-year Law undergraduate, evidencing the very high quality of Lucy’s essay.
Huish Law Course Manager, Rowena Mudge said “I am absolutely delighted to see Lucy recognised for her essay. Lucy is an exceptional Law student who I have really enjoyed teaching during her time with us in the Huish Law School. Lucy has a very bright future as a legal professional ahead of her and I am over the moon to see her talent recognised by such a highly respected barristers chambers in London. Well done, Lucy! We are so proud of you!”
Lucy got to meet a range of incredible Barristers/Lawyers during the evening including Adam Wagner (leading Human Rights Barrister who was involved in the COVID inquiry), Kirsty Brimelow KC, Raj Chada (an expert on the law surrounding protests, who acted in the Colston Four case), and Geoffrey Robertson KC (who founded the chambers and is currently working on getting the Parthenon Marbles back to Greece with Amal Clooney).
Lucy said “it was an incredible evening and I would strongly recommend that future Law students enter the competition! I want to thank the Law department at Huish for all of the support and help given to me over the last two years. My Law teacher not only helped give me the knowledge I needed to be able to write an extended essay on a legal topic but gave me the confidence to be able to enter a prestigious competition”.
