The Next Generation of OW Lawyers Each year, the Elizabethan Club sponsors a number of places at the OW Lawyers’ Dinner for Remove and Sixth Form pupils who are interested in studying Law at University. Below are a selection of letters of thanks from those pupils who attended the dinner this year.
Dear Elizabethan Club,
Dear Elizabethan Club,
I would like to express my thanks for the opportunity to attend the OW Lawyers’ dinner. I had a fascinating evening learning about a wonderful array of possible careers and discussing current legal issues with a variety of legal professionals. In particular, talking to Lord Neuberger about the future of the law and AI was a huge privilege, which I am very grateful for. On top of learning about the law, I also very much enjoyed hearing tales of Westminster over the years, and how the spirit of the school has far from changed...

Thank you again for this phenomenal evening, Liberty
The evening was a wonderful educational experience, providing me with a better understanding and insight into the legal profession. It was truly a privilege to have had the opportunity to speak to a group of such affluent lawyers whose specialities resided in a diverse range of legal fields many of which illuminated new potential avenues of law, down which I’d never considered the pursuit of a career path. Yours faithfully, Rita

Sitting next to an Aviation Lawyer, who, like me, had studied Classics at Westminster was a very valuable experience. For one, I learnt more about what is required (especially in the speaking and writing balance) for positions in different aspects of the law, and moreover we had a fascinating discussion about the theatrical component behind speeches and their expression. What I especially appreciated was a conversation with two other lawyers, who brought to my and a colleague’s attention a topic concerning Westminster’s history, which we are planning to research to a greater depth. Not only was it inspiring to connect with those who have had the same honour to attend Westminster, but the evening made me more knowledgeable and more intent on pursuing a career in law, due particularly to the enthusiasm of the lawyers I conversed with and the concluding speech.
This evening was extremely valuable for me, since I was able to meet so many interesting and amazing people who further inspired me to pursue the wonderful career of law. I was able to learn so many new things: such as what international law really means and what it is actually like to work in the world of law. Nothing could have been more precious to me than the opportunity to receive first-hand advice and stories directly from such incredible lawyers. The evening in itself was extremely enjoyable, and I also loved talking to the Old Westminsters about how the school has changed over the years.
Yours Faithfully, Virginia
Again, I would like to thank you for giving me the chance to experience such an evening. Thank you very, very much. From, Brandon Continued overleaf ➽ ISSUE 2019 /20
