Turnbull Scholarship recipient selected to study at The University of Law
This month, Stewarts law firm announced the recipient of the Daniel Turnbull Scholarship. This year’s recipient is Mia Mulligan and the award allows her to study the Legal Practice Course (LPC) at The University of Law.
The Daniel Turnbull Scholarship was first announced in 2019 and is awarded to an individual who is disabled, as defined under the Equality Act 2010, to complete the LPC at any of The University of Law campuses.
When interviewed by Stewarts, Mia Mulligan said: “I discovered the importance of accessing specialist legal services and advice first-hand when, aged 19, I became a young parent carer to a severely disabled child. I was immediately forced to navigate the complex and seemingly outdated legal system that surrounds children and young adults with special educational needs.
“My decision to pursue a career as a solicitor came while I was a legal secretary at a law firm in Truro, Cornwall. Working in the family department, I was in awe of their expertise and determination and knew this path was right for me.”
Mia Mulligan continued: “Without this scholarship, I would have been unable to study the LPC LLM and follow my dreams, and so I want to extend a huge thank you to The Stewarts Foundation for this life-changing opportunity.”
Congratulations to Mia Mulligan, The University of Law looks forward to seeing her ongoing achievements within the legal profession.
