Now in its second year, the competition was set up in memory of family barrister and advocate Alan Inglis, who died in August 2023.
This year's essay question was: ‘Should the Family Court automatically recognise international surrogacy arrangements?’.
The winning essay was penned by Inner Temple scholar Monique Simone Fremder (pictured), while second place went to Emmanuel Lu. Monique was awarded a £500 prize and a mini pupillage, while Emmanuel took home £250.
Monique read Law at the University of York. Prior to relocating to the UK from Australia, she held positions as a Judicial Assistant and as a Registrar in the Civil Division of a Victorian Court. She is currently completing the Bar Training Course at the Inns of Court College of Advocacy, having been awarded the Profumo, Exhibition and Duke of Edinburgh Scholarships by the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple.
