For the second year in a row, The College of Law and the International Bar Association (IBA) are offering scholarships towards fees for the full-time LLM in International Legal Practice, which runs at CoL's Moorgate and Manchester centres.
Each of the four awards is worth £2,500. To apply, students must have accepted a place on the September 2013 course by 19 July 2013. Applicants must submit an essay, short video or other form of digital presentation by 19 July on the following: "In Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part Two Dick the Butcher demands: "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." Consider whether this is the public's attitude towards lawyers today and whether that perception is likely to change over the next ten years?"
The LLM was designed in collaboration with Allen & Overy, DLA Piper and Baker & McKenzie. Tim Hughes, deputy executive director of the IBA, said: "The practical advantages of this LLM, in being tutored on how to conduct real cross-border transactions, will broaden the skills of any aspiring young lawyer, and we are delighted to once again be able to broaden access to it through offering these scholarships."
