We are delighted to announce the title of our 2024 Essay Competition:
“Given the pressures on the family court system, and the delays in resolving cases, should new restrictions be introduced to prevent financial and or/ children applications being made? If so, what should those restrictions be?”
The deadline for Essay submissions is 11:00 – 3rd December 2024.
Winners will be announced 16:00 – Wednesday 13th January 2025.
Essays should be no more than 1,500 words to include any footnotes and/or citations. We request that all essays are submitted in pdf format, with no name added to the pdf, as all entries will be anonymised. Please email your submission to nbentley@1kbw.co.uk.
The winner will receive a mini pupillage and the runners up will be invited to participate in a panel discussion with members of chambers about the issues raised in the essay competition and to discuss life and pupillage at 1KBW and the family bar generally.
