Outstanding students at The University of Law Guildford were honoured in a prize-giving ceremony this week.
Top performers from the LLB, Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) and Legal Practice Course (LPC) were rewarded for their achievements with prizes sponsored by an array of law firms, The University of Law and other organisations.
A number of students collected more than one prize, including Kizzie Fenner, who collected five awards for her outstanding work on the LPC.
Kizzie was joined by 16 students and their families for the evening, which gave the students, alumni and law firms in attendance an opportunity to network and celebrate together.
Legal firms who sponsored prizes were Clyde & Co. LLP, Fearon & Co., Coffin Mew LLP, Gordons Partnership LLP, Stevens & Bolton LLP, DLA Piper, GCL Solicitors, Howell Jones Solicitors, Penningtons Manches LLP, Charles Russell Speechlys LLP, and TWM Solicitors LLP. Other prizes were sponsored by property search company STL Group, the Surrey Law Society and family law organisation Resolution.
Sarah Pooley, Centre Director of The University of Law Guildford, said: “Our annual awards evening is an opportunity to celebrate the successes of our LL.B, GDL and LPC students. We were delighted to welcome back our prize-winners and to congratulate them on their outstanding examination results. The evening would not have been possible without the support of the local legal community and we would like to thank all the sponsoring firms and organisations for their generosity.”
