Matthew Dunn from Minster Law was pleased to present Rebecca Wilson with the Minster Law Prize for the Best Performing CILEx Student. He said: “Congratulations to Rebecca and all the other winners. The academic excellence, hard work and sheer talent of students at Leeds Beckett’s Law School was clear for all to see. Wishing all students every success as they enter the industry – shine bright.”
