Last Wednesday, March 25, in SETU's College Street Campus, as part of Law Week, local solicitor firm M.M. Halley and Son presented the inaugural Halley Award to the student who achieved outstanding academic results in the field of Tort.
Tort is the Common Laws cornerstone of negligence.
This year's recipient was Kilkenny's Natalia Polczner, a 2nd year law student in SETU.
Law Week sees speakers from across the legal world provide talks and insights into relevant areas of Irish Law for students.
As part of the programme, Emmet Halley gave a talk to students from across the South East about the evolving field of medical negligence and how such sensitive cases are litigated.
SETU's Law Faculty were thanked for putting on such a programme to ensure that South East graduates have a combination of strong academic and practical skills for entry into the legal world.
