The ILBF’s law undergraduate essay competition 2023-2024 is a fantastic opportunity to engage with an important topic with the chance to win a week’s work experience at international law firm McDermott Will & Emery in London in summer 2024. The essay question is ‘Should the right to protest be unfettered?’.

The essay deadline is 29^th February at 4 pm so there’s plenty of time to enter. The winning entry will be posted to the ILBF’s website, Thought Leaders 4 FIRE and in the Commonwealth Lawyer Journal. Just taking part is a chance to think about a subject beyond your undergraduate studies and formulate ideas that will hone your legal thinking on a critical topic. All good preparation for interviews!

For inspiration on the topic of the essay, a free online panel event is being held on 24^th January at 5pm-6.30pm with a brilliant line up of experts on the right to protest and the rule of law: Kirsty Brimelow KC, Raj Chada of Hodge Jones & Allen, Akiko Hart from Liberty and Tyrone Steele from JUSTICE. It promises to be fascinating and insightful discussion. You can register to attend here.
