BPP Law School’s Streetlaw Homeless programme carried off the prize for best team of students at this year’s LawWorks and Attorney General Student Pro Bono Awards, held last week in the House of Commons.

Christian Fleck, managing director of LexisNexis, which sponsored the awards said:

“We believe pro bono work plays a crucial part in helping those who cannot afford access to justice and are happy to support and celebrate the high achievements of the winners and those who have been shortlisted.” Dominic Grieve QC, the attorney general, presented the Access to Justice Foundation Student Prize to Andrew McIntyre of City Law School for his article on pro bono costs orders. The article will be published in a future issue of NLJ.
