The School of Law at the University of Dundee will hold its annual prize-giving on Thursday September 27, 2007.

Professor Janet McLean, who will be officiating at the ceremony, said, "We are delighted to provide this occasion on which to recognize and to celebrate the success of our best and brightest students and to share this with their families and friends."

"These students will go on to become standard bearers for the School of Law. As they enter into the practice of law, business, or politics they will become our ambassadors."

"We trust that the intelligence, tenacity, hard work and professionalism, they have already shown will continue to be manifest throughout their professional lives - qualities which are synonymous with a law degree from the University of Dundee."

The prize-giving takes place in the Ustinov Room, Bonar Hall at 5.30 pm on Thursday September 27th.
