Law Society's 1983 Journalism Award

The Incorporated Law Society Award 1983, for students attending the School of Journalism at the College of Commerce, Rathmines, has been awarded to Deirdre Poole, of Blackrock, Co. Dublin. Claire Grady, of Westport, and T im Healy, Finglas West, Dublin, were highly commended for their submissions. Ms. Poole received the Award (£100) from the President of the Law Society, and the piece of plate associated with the award will be presented at the formal College prize-giving ceremony later in the year. Ms. Grady and Mr. Healy will also receive cash awards. The standard of entries was substantially higher than in 1982 and the submissions showed a good enough approach to the subject treated — all with a legal interest. Research was good and it was obvious that members of the legal profession and other informed people had co-operated with the young journalists in answering queries in the course of the students' investigations. The winning entry, which will appear in a later edition of the Law Society GAZETTE, covered the involvement of solicitors and barristers in the work of the Employment Appeals Tribunal. The adjudicating committee, representing the Law Society and the College, considers that the 1983 sub- missions indicate that the purpose of the Law Society Award — the stimulating of an interest among entrants into journalism in presenting informative articles on legal matters — is being achieved.
