School of Law Prizegiving Ceremony

22 September 2011

Just over thirty undergraduate students from the University of Dundee were presented with awards held by the School of Law annual prize-giving. The ceremony took place in the University's Dalhousie Building to recognise the outstanding performance of students from the last academic year.

First year accelerated law student, Scott Pike, was presented with five awards at the ceremony including, jointly with three other students, the HAROLD HOW MEMORIAL AWARD, which is awarded to the student(s) whose performance in their first year of the graduation course in Law is deemed by the Dean to have been the most meritorious, and the JOHN N YOUNG PRIZE in Constitutional Law.

Final year law student Callum Miller, was presented with four awards at the ceremony including the SHENAZ KAPOOR QUAICH – awarded annually, at the discretion of the Dean of Law in consultation with the Director of Languages, to the best fourth year student in any of the languages studied as part of the LLB (Law with Languages) degree and DEAN'S MEDAL – awarded occasionally to any student who, in the opinion of the Dean, has exhibited outstanding and exemplary efforts in the course of his or her studies.

Dean of the School of Law, Professor Alan Page said, "There is no better way to begin a new academic year than by publicly acknowledging the achievements of our students, and the dedication, hard work and commitment of those who teach them."

A number of the prizes are sponsored by external bodies, including professional bodies, legal publishers and firms of solicitors. The School of Law welcomes the chance to thank them for their continuing support.
