Times Law Awards: essays on assisted dying
Sunday, June 8, 2025 at 11:00 According to the BBC, opposition to the assisted dying bill is growing.
This then seems a good moment to mention that my son was one of six finalists in the 2025 Times Law Awards Essay Competition for which entrants were invited to submit a 1,000-word essay on … assisted dying.
Sponsored by One Essex Court, a leading set of barristers' chambers in London, the annual competition is open to ‘all students registered with UK higher education institutes, pupil barristers and trainee solicitors’.
There were over 200 entries and judges included KCs and a justice of the Supreme Court.
The finalists were notified in April and the winners were announced last month by Solicitor General Lucy Rigby KC MP at a ‘celebratory dinner’ at the Guildhall in the City of London.
The winners and runners-up, with links to their essays, are listed here. The winning entry was published by The Times here.
