The question for this year’s Times Law Awards student essay competition,sponsored by One Essex Court, is:
“TO NO ONE WILL WE SELL, TO NO ONE WILL WE DENY OR DELAY RIGHT OR JUSTICE” MAGNA CARTA CLAUSE 40: “IS THE STATE FINANCING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM PROPERLY AND, IF NOT, IS PRIVATISATION A POSSIBLE SOLUTION? WOULD THIS MEAN SELLING JUSTICE?”
With more than £10,000 of prizes on offer to the six finalists and the prospect of having their entry read by the Lord Chancellor and senior members of the judiciary, as well as the editor of The Times, this is an opportunity for student commentators to tackle one of the most critical issues of our time.
The competition is open to all students registered with UK higher education institutes, pupil barristers and trainee solicitors. Essays should be no more than 1,000 words and must be received by midday Friday 17 December 2021.
