Exceeding all expectations the Semi-Finals proved to be a highly accredited academic event attracting a rather significant audience. The panel of judges included Lord Kerr and highly esteemed practitioners of human rights law such as Ms. J. Kinghan, Mr. S. Ollesson and Ms H. Mountfield. The Semi-Finals were conducted at Bentham House, UCL and were followed by a small reception where Lord Kerr offered a rather intriguing insight to the law profession, discussing also the requirements for pursuing a career at the Bar.
We are most pleased to congratulate the Finalists as announced after the reception:
Azusa Kikuma,
Joseph Markus,
Samuel Martin Reynolds,
Sarah Walker.
The Finals are scheduled for the 8th of April in the European Court of Human Rights, Strasbourg.
