The autumn event saw students who received the highest marks in their respective Jersey law courses held between September 2023 and June 2024 recognised.

The annual prizegiving took place at The Law Society of Jersey’s annual dinner and the awards were presented by the Deputy Bailiff, Robert MacRae, in his capacity as President of the Board of Examiners.

President of The Law Society of Jersey, Advocate Nigel Sanders said: “The route to qualifying as a Jersey advocate or solicitor requires a considerable level of study and dedication and to achieve success is a great achievement.

“The efforts and dedication of all of those who opt to qualify locally cannot be underestimated, particularly where inevitably the students will be looking to find precious time to study at weekends and outside heavy workloads and family commitments.

Nineteen new advocates and solicitors were sworn-in in 2024, bringing the total number of individuals completing the Jersey Law Course through the Institute of Law to 350 since it began in 2008.

Mr Sanders continued: “These awards celebrate excellence on the part of individuals who have achieved the highest marks in very testing examinations. We congratulate them all and wish them well in their future careers in the legal profession.”
