The Next Generation of OW Lawyers
Dear Elizabethan Club,
Dear Elizabethan Club,
I would like to express my thanks for providing me with the opportunity of attending the OW Lawyers’ Dinner.
I would like to express my thanks for providing me with the opportunity of attending the OW Lawyers’ Dinner.
The evening was not only very enjoyable but also highly useful for the future. The conversations that I held with many of the OW Lawyers were vibrant, one could really tell how intellectual and ‘sparky’ they were, as well as hugely informative in terms of the advice and general information given about the profession. The speech after dinner was very amusing and lively, teaching me a lot about International Lawyers, which may be beneficial for the future.
It was a pleasure to be given the opportunity to spend an evening with such eminent company as Lord Neuberger – while I received very valuable information from him and others about moving from law as a university subject into practice, it is the incredibly intellectually stimulating conversations about the place of the law in our rapidly changing Western society and political climate that I will treasure most.
Perhaps the most rewarding and valuable moment of the evening was my talk with Mr Rothschild who ended up giving me his card. I felt awfully grown-up, and I cannot wait to contact him in the future for the possibility of learning even more about the business, maybe even with the opportunity for work experience.
I would also like to express my gratitude for my prize for the Neuberger Essay; it is an honour to hear that my essay will be published in the New Law Journal, and I am extremely grateful for the book vouchers, which will be of great use in my future study of law.
I learnt huge amounts about the profession and how to enter it with various snippets of advice and tips, but I also learnt about the OW Lawyers’ own experiences at Westminster and the changes that have taken place since. The whole experience of the evening was so enriching that it has certainly encouraged me to look into Law further as a possible future career. I look forward to writing the Law essay in the summer. I am so grateful for having been included in this wonderful tradition, so thank you very much. Both the food and the company was marvellous. Yours faithfully, Coco
Dear Elizabethan Club I would like to express my thanks for providing me with the opportunity of attending the OW Lawyers’ Dinner. The occasion was an invaluable experience and I was able to gain unique insights from the industry’s experts. The dinner helped portray how one embarks on a career in law; there is no prescriptive method and there are numerous avenues one could follow. Consequently, the knowledge that I have gained from the Dinner has further solidified my desire to pursue a possible career in law. Thank you again for this amazing opportunity. Taruniga

Dear Elizabethan Club, I would like to express my thanks for providing me with the opportunity of attending the OW Lawyers’ Dinner. It was a fascinating experience firstly to talk to some old Westminsters, one of whom had attended the school when the Abbey was still black from the aftermath of the Blitz, about the ways that the school has changed over the years – although many aspects have stayed exactly the same. On top of this I learned a lot about how many different jobs there are under the blanket term of ‘law’, from giving legal advice to being a top judge. The evening inspired me to do something worthwhile in the future, and choose my career with care, so that when I attend a similar dinner in ten years’ time, I can say in all honesty that I have an interesting job that I enjoy. Yours faithfully, Artemis
Dear Elizabethan Club, I would like to express my thanks for providing me with the opportunity of attending the OW Lawyers’ Dinner. Speaking to the various OWW was insightful, learning about their various career paths and offering me advice in regards to an undergraduate degree as well as work experience in the future. The lecture at the end of the dinner about international law was also interesting and is now potentially an area of law I want to explore further. Yours faithfully, James
