The ILBF is delighted to announce that the 2022-2023 law undergraduate essay competition is being sponsored by Latham & Watkins.

The ILBF has enjoyed a long partnership with Latham & Watkins who have sponsored many shipments of books collected by Junior Lawyers Against Poverty (JLAP) groups at UK universities. We are thrilled that Latham & Watkins are sponsoring our 2022-2023 law undergraduate essay competition. With their support we can build a truly exciting competition open to all UK law undergraduates.
