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. U
