Ashurst Student Paper Competition
This Competition aims to encourage the pursuit of excellence in academic scholarship and allow students to develop their skills of research, analysis, communication, oral presentation and persuasive argument.
The Student Paper Competition invites students to submit and present a paper on a subject of their choice connected with law or justice.
There are two stages to the competition: submission of a written paper followed later by an oral presentation of the key elements of the written paper and the argument it develops.
