The City Law School hosted a drinks reception to recognise the achievements of its students, who have been awarded scholarships and prizes, on Wednesday 3 December.

The event allowed students to meet some of the donors who give funding for the School's scholarships and prizes annually. The scholarships and prizes provide financial support to students, at all levels of their legal education, to aid them in their studies and reward their achievements.
