The award,
sponsored by National Accident Helpline, offers the country’s brightest legal

Last year’s
Future Legal Mind Award winner, Hana Kapadia, said: "Winning the
competition will undoubtedly provide a huge boost to my CV, and is a

my studies.
I would
definitely recommend entering the Future Legal Mind Award 2018.”

Other
previous winners and shortlisted candidates also say the award has enhanced
