IAFL European Chapter Young Lawyers' Award 2023

Posted: 17 Oct 2022

family law essay competition 2023

Approximately 12 years ago, the European Chapter of IAFL established an annual writing award for young family lawyers. The award aims to promote research and excellence among young family lawyers and to increase awareness among other legal professionals of the work and objectives of the IAFL.

The Young Lawyers' Award carries a prize of €1,000, awarded to the author of the winning contribution, and two €500 prizes for the best runners up.

The prizes will be presented at the IAFL Introduction to European Family Law Conference in November 2023.  

The winners will be announced on Tuesday 20   June 2023. The winner and two best runners up will also receive a subsidy of up to €500 for travel and accommodation plus free registration.

A panel of European Chapter Fellows will be responsible for the selection of the winning contributions. The Young Lawyers' Award winner will be selected by the panel on the basis of the written composition concerning International or European Family law, the practical and theoretical interest and the legal analysis of the contribution.

Subject Matter - Case Study 

The case study for the 2023 award is:  'Junior is 25, he is a Brazilian football player, he plays for Paris and lives and resides in France.

He has a brilliant career; he has a great contract with his club and has a number of sponsorship deals.  He knows he won't stay in Paris all his career and plans to go to another club in England, Spain or Germany soon.

He is in a relationship with Eva who is a model and actress with dual British and American citizenship. She has inherited from her father, and she is the sole heir of her mother who is a very wealthy and famous film producer. Eva lives mainly in London.

Junior and Eva want to marry and to do a prenuptial agreement.

Junior would like to be protected because he may have a very successful career but he has also a lot of uncertainty.  Eva would like to protect her family assets and to be protected if they have a family.  

How will you proceed to establish this prenuptial agreement?'

The contribution should ideally be written in English, however, translations can be obtained should the applicant wish to write in their own language. It should be no more than 3000 words and should not contain any information which could reveal the identity of the writer to the judging panel as otherwise they will be disqualified.

Eligibility

The author of the composition should be a qualified practising family lawyer of up to ten years qualification and/or experience and be residing in a European jurisdiction. Iceland, Turkey and Russian Federation are all included.  Entries from trainee lawyers, pupil barristers or the equivalent are also welcomed.

Publication

The winning entry will be published on the IAFL website. The entry should not have been published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere, although it can subsequently be published elsewhere with appropriate reference to the IAFL. 

The contributions for consideration in respect of the 11th annual award should be submitted by 11.59pm (BST) on Friday 14 April 2023. Submissions should be sent electronically to Ele Dexter of the IAFL at   [email protected]

The runner-up

nathan-thompson.jpg

Nathan Thompson: 'Frozen Assets, Thawed Reforms: An argument to have AFrOs and AFOs transferred to the High Court in complex cases'

About the essay, and why others should apply:

"This essay argues that statutory amendment is required to provide a route to transfer civil freezing and forfeiture from the Magistrates’ Court to the High Court, where complex issues arise.   

I believe others should apply for this competition as it gives you a fantastic opportunity to express your opinion on an area of law which really interests you. You never know your chances of getting a prize!"

Winner (Graduate Diploma in Law)

ioan-mcneill.jpg

Iona McNeill: 'Paving the way for modernisation and better clarity of UK surrogacy practice: proposals for reform of current statute'

What this essay is about, and why the topic was chosen

"The essay examines legislation governing surrogacy, and identifies shortcomings in current statute. It explores how law reform could offer more robust protection for the parties involved and safeguard their interests.

Researching surrogacy law for a university module, I realised that the legal framework was outdated as legislation has not kept pace with changing societal attitudes towards surrogacy. The Law Commissions’ joint report identifies issues with current statute, but their recommendations for change would not entirely fix these shortcomings.

Having explored international surrogacy regulations, I decided to use the essay to suggest ideas for reform that might better govern surrogacy arrangements."

Read the essay [PDF]

Runner-up (Graduate Diploma in Law)

Emily Edwards Blair.jpg

Emily Edwards Blair: 'Criminally insane or just mentally ill? A case for the reform of the insanity and automatism defences'

What the essay is about, and why this topic was chosen:

"My essay explores the need for reform to the insanity and automatism defences, arguing that adequate defences for mentally ill offenders would prevent unfair sentencing, particularly prison sentences, which can result in the worsening of their mental ill health.

The topic of mental health is near and dear to my heart, and I was horrified when I found out that the M'Naghten rules have not been updated since their inception in 1843. Our laws must serve our population, and with increasing mental illness among the population we need adequate defences for those who offend due to their illness.

I believe that with a reformed defence centred on medical fact (not legal fiction) we can create a fairer justice system for all - not just the mentally healthy. I wrote this essay to try to raise awareness for this, as in its current state, our justice system is unfair and biassed against those with mental illness."

 Highly commended

Bryn Auger.jpg

Bryn Auger: 'Extending the coroner’s jurisdiction to stillbirths: transparency, accountability, and independent answers'

What the essay is about, and why this topic was chosen

"An exclusive extension to the Coroner’s jurisdiction enabling the investigation and/or holding of an inquest into all stillbirths, addressing deficiencies of investigation practices, improving accountability, and creating better learning opportunities.

I have worked with families who have suffered the loss of stillbirth. I learnt of their grief. Many felt let down with current investigation practices, yet they had nowhere else to turn. They wanted an independent process that provides answers to what happened. They wanted to stop their loss and grief passing to another family. I decided that extending the Coroner’s jurisdiction was the best approach for providing independent accountability."

emma-townend.jpg

Emma Townend: 'Barrier to justice: why the mandatory reconsideration stage of the Personal Independence Payment appeals process should be abolished'

What this essay is about, and why this topic was chosen

"An essay exploring how the DWP’s internal Mandatory Reconsideration stage of the Personal Independence Payment appeals process blocks access to First-tier Tribunal and therefore recourse to real justice.

I chose this topic because I have seen first-hand the impact the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) process has on those living with disability through my volunteer work with a local disability charity. Over time, it became clear to me that the Mandatory Reconsideration stage was acting to deter people from exercising their right to appeal to tribunal. And as someone who lives with disability myself, the issue is close to my heart."

Providing printed legal texts to institutions involved in access to justice

‘The establishment of the rule of law is most obvious in underpinning individual liberty and democratic government, but the development of successful modern economies cannot take place without it. No judiciary can accomplish this task without the help of lawyers that have access to good libraries and good libraries themselves.’

  • Human rights

Graham Turnbull essay competition to be held in 2023 and organised by Memorial Fund

The Graham Turnbull essay competition  encourages law students and junior lawyers to examine current pressing human rights issues and to consider their impact on the wider system of human rights and law.

Held in memory of Graham Turnbull, a human rights lawyer killed in 1997 while working as a United Nations human rights monitor, the winner is awarded £500 at an annual lecture.

Since its inception, the competition was administered by the Law Society in partnership with the Graham Turnbull Memorial Fund.

From now, it will be organised by the Graham Turnbull Memorial Fund independently.

While we're sorry to no longer be hosting the competition and lecture, we are glad that its legacy – and that of Graham Turnbull – will continue.

Dates for the 2023 competition will be released soon.

We will keep members updated through our social media channels.
