Six Liverpool Law School students have been awarded prestigious scholarships by the Inns of Court in London.
Established in the medieval period, the four Inns of Court are the learned societies that call barristers to the Bar of England and Wales.
Every year, they distribute a number of scholarships for the post-University vocational stage of training to support graduates who would like to train as barristers.
The scholarships are very prestigious. They are valuable in monetary terms, but also as marks of esteem and promise. Recipients usually go on to great success at the Bar.
