Lord Finkelstein is special guest at Law School Dinner

On 3 March, 70 guests gathered in the University’s fine dining restaurant, Pillars, for the ninth annual Ealing Law School Dinner.

The School was honoured to welcome political journalist and Associate Editor of The Times Lord Daniel Finkelstein OBE as guest speaker for the evening. During his speech Six Things I Believe, Lord Finkelstein gave his views on the rule of law, as well as an engaging insight into the political scene, based on his experiences as a key advisor to the Conservative party. After sharing anecdotes with guests, he concluded by remarking that what moves us most in politics are the experiences in our own lives.

The evening was also an opportunity to congratulate the recent recipients of the Ealing Law School bursaries. Second year student Nathaniel Perera was named as the recipient of the Michael Molyneux Bursary Award and final year student Sandy Duffy was awarded with the Ealing Law School Bursary.

Philip Ells, Acting Head of Ealing Law School, commented: “The annual Ealing Law School dinner is an opportunity for alumni, honorary members and supporters of the School, as well as students and staff, to connect with the School and each other, and to celebrate achievement. We applaud the successes of our graduates and the achievements of current students so generously assisted by bursaries. It is also an event where all unite in recognising the work of the Law School in developing students to become part of the wider legal community, to reach their potential and fulfil their ambitions.”

We are incredibly grateful to all those who made a contribution towards the Ealing Bursary Fund in advance of the event or on the night, helping us raise nearly £800. This money will go towards awarding another bursary next year, providing crucial support to a promising student facing financial difficulties.
