Pro-bono
The outstanding achievements of students and law schools from across the UK were celebrated at the LexisNexis– sponsored annual LawWorks and Attorney General Student Awards, last week.
The Attorney General, Baroness Scotland QC, applauded the students for their “passion, dedication and commitment to pro-bono”. She praised LN’s “impressive” contribution to pro-bono— making particular reference to LN’s Lexis PSL service (available free of charge to LawWorks members and students).
The awards themselves demonstrated the wide range of pro-bono work students undertake, with the University of Strathclyde awarded “Best Law School” and Camilla Graham Wood, a former College of Law LPC student winning the individual category.
Speaking at the event, LN’s managing director, Josh Bottomley, announced that LN was offering Camilla an allexpenses paid trip to the US, to spend two weeks working on LN’s international pro-bono initiatives.
Presenting the award, Bottomley added: “We hope Camilla finds her time in Washington DC with the LexisNexis team insightful and rewarding.
“The future of the legal profession depends on the students of today and through their dedication and insight the industry will continue to grow and develop.”
