A trainee advocate has received an award for an essay from the Isle of Man Law Society.

 

Emily Johnson, Trainee Advocate at Simcocks, has been awarded the George Johnson Law Prize 2019.

 

The prize was established in 1943 in memory of George Sayle Johnson, a former President of the IOM Law Society, with the objective of encouraging the study of law.  

 

The winning essay was on the subject of legal aid, entitled: Does the system of legal aid in the Isle of Man require reform and if so in which respects?

 

Emily joined the firm earlier this year and is due to qualify later this month.

 

The prize was presented to Emily by Deemster Corlett at the IOM Law Society in the presence of her colleagues.

 

CEO of Simcocks Advocates Phil Games said: 'I was delighted to attend the presentation of this esteemed award.  We’re enormously proud of Emily, who we already know to be a very talented person and who has great potential to be an outstanding advocate.'
