The Crowell and Moring Antitrust Scholarship and Internship is open to students who take the International Cartels, General Competition and State and Competition and Regulation electives on the International Commercial Law LLM.

Students who achieve the highest marks within their class, in their assessed end of term papers, will be eligible to apply. Those students will be longlisted and then a selection of students will be interviewed in February or March 2010. The Scholarship amounts to £5000 pro rata for the maximum three months of the internship.

The internship and scholarship is another excellent example of the School's links with industry.

Crowell's has an enviable reputation for extremely high quality work, commitment to innovative thinking and a superb working culture" - Professor Alan Riley, Director of the LLM Programme

The internship will take place in the London office of Crowell & Moring in the Antitrust Recovery Team based in London and Brussels. The work will focus on antitrust damages and litigation.

Rob Murray, partner at Crowell & Moring says, "Crowell & Moring look forward to providing capable and enthusiastic young lawyers with the opportunity to experience cutting edge legal practice".

The team from City, consisting of Ben Fellows, Ben Lowen, Alex Wagg, and Joe Peak, had to compete against 48 teams from other UK universities. After finishing at the top of the leader board in the preliminary rounds of the contest, the students went through to the grand final in April. The team did not win but received praise from Allen & Overy Partner, David Campbell.

Campbell told the City team: "I can honestly say that I would be happy to work with any of you as part of a negotiating team." He encouraged the contestants to pursue a career in commercial law as well as offering them his contact details.

The Competition was created to provide an insight into commercial law and to highlight the key skills needed to become a successful solicitor. Campbell described the Game On exercise as a simplified example of the negotiations solicitors had to deal with on a regular basis.

Claire de Than, LLB Programme Director says: "Congratulations, to the City team for making it so far into the competition and representing The City Law School so effectively."

Advocacy of the highest standard was demonstrated by all the students who entered, and the finalists were no exception. The competition could not have taken place without the help of the staff who acted as judges - Stuart Sime, Peter Hungerford-Welch, Linda Duenas, Suzanne Reece, Stuart Lindsay, Robert McPeake, Paul McKeown, Marcus Soanes and Catherine Hill.

Michael Kirby will explore the growing impact of international law (especially the international law of human rights) on local common law, and will explain the way in which the Human Rights Act 1998 (UK) has affected the impact of international law on English common law. Taking into account his own experience Michael Kirby will then describe the resistance, even hostility, to this impact in Australian decisions and the way in which this attitude has been modified following the critical turning point taken by the High Court in the Mabo Case (1992) on Abriginal land rights.

Venue: The Oliver Thompson Lecture Theatre, City University London, Northampton Square. Registration from 18:30, lecture from 19:00 and post-lecture refreshments from 20:00.

"These awards celebrate the business and management skills of those running universities across the UK. They aim to champion the innovation, management skills and commercial acumen displayed by the sector. Judges are looking for outstanding examples of best practice in 2008"

The City Law School's distinguished history as a provider of legal education charts a long commitment to new ideas and innovation in the study and practice of law. The law school's library team embodies this commitment in its own unique way. 2008 saw the launch of two major new websites by the law library team, innovations that had a significant impact on the library's support of teaching and learning activities, and the marketing and operation of the law school itself.

Lawbore Professional was developed by the library team at Gray's Inn Place to serve students training to be professional lawyers on the School's vocational training programmes. Learnmore developed by the academic programmes law librarian, Emily Allbon, provides online 'how-to' wiki-style resources to support law students in their learning. Both web sites built on the outstanding success of Lawbore, originally launched in 2003.

These initiatives have been recognised and shortlisted for an award in the Outstanding Library Team category of the Leadership and Management Awards. The City Law School's library team is joined by five other university library teams from across the UK and the winner will be announced at a ceremony to take place in June at London's Hilton Hotel, Park Lane.

The City Law School, perhaps uniquely amongst higher education institutions, provides an extensive package of learning and support to all its students - from first degree level right through to those newly qualified and entering professional practice.
