And also thanks to many others...
We are grateful to our graduates who, by sitting on various Boards and Committees, help the work of the Law School.

We would also like to thank those organisations who provide prizes for our students as well as the numerous solicitors and barristers from the North West and London, without whose help the Legal Advice Centre would not exist.

Thanks also go to those who supervise and guide our students.

We especially thank HEFCE for their financial support which helps to fund the Legal Advice Centre.
