The Prize consists of two days work experience at the UK’s leading family law practice and is awarded to the highest performing student in the Year 3 Family Course. Work experience at Stowe Family Law is intended to help students to understand the skillset and mindset of the successful family lawyer, regularly advising people at one of the most emotional and traumatic times of their lives." - Stowe Family Law

"I am absolutely delighted (and surprised!!) to have won the Year 3 Family Law award. The module was a perfect combination of challenging, informative and importantly extremely engaging! Studying family law has helped to broaden my understanding of various intersecting aspects of the law. MJ and Claire were instrumental in developing my research and advisory skills, essential in all areas of law. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion and practicality of seminars. I believe this way of learning is incredibly beneficial, reflecting both the strength of this module and York Law School’s approach as a whole. I am incredibly grateful to Stowe Family Law for sponsoring this module, it is a great opportunity to see your hard work result in real world legal connections."  - Emily Thomas
