A COLLEGE in Darlington is looking to inspire the next generation of lawyers with help from a firm of solicitors.
Ten top performing law students Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College are to receive £125 from Latimer Hinks Solicitors – which is based in the town’s Priestgate area.
Tim Fisher, principal at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, said he was “delighted” that the law firm was rewarding the college’s students.
“Like Queen Elizabeth, Latimer Hinks is an organisation that has had a presence in the town for a long time and has an excellent reputation amongst local people, so it’s fantastic to be able to work together,” he said.
“These awards will provide further motivation for our students studying law and offer them excellent role models to inspire their future achievements,” he added.
Anne Elliott, chief executive at Latimer Hinks, said: “These awards will not only recognise the most talented students, but will also reward those students who have worked hard to improve their grades or overcome difficult circumstances.”
