University of Strathclyde Law Clinic students have been shortlisted for two awards this year in the LawWorks & Attorney General Student Awards 2010.

The Law Clinic’s student committee has been shortlisted in the Team of Students Award and our Development Officer, Liam MacLean, has also been shortlisted for the Best Contribution by an Individual Student Award.

Last year, which was the first year that activities outside England and Wales were eligible for the awards, the Law Clinic and its students were nominated in three categories, and the Law Clinic won the award for the Best Contribution by a Law School. Given our success last year, we are looking forward to the awards this year which will be held in the House of Lords on Tuesday 30 March 2010 where the winners will be announced.

Professor Donald Nicolson, Director of the Law Clinic, said: “Each year the Law Clinic continues to expand and improve thanks to the dedication and commitment of our 200 volunteer student advisors. It is great that the hard work and success of our Law Clinic students has been recognised for the second year in a row with the two nominations”.
