Making a difference

“ Reading Law at Trinity, under the supervision of its dedicated Law Fellows, was profoundly engaging and rewarding. The Donoghue and Stevenson Law Fund will help to secure for future students the distinctive intellectual experience we enjoyed and afford them even greater opportunities. I am particularly pleased that the Fund may support Trinity’s efforts to inspire promising candidates to apply to read Law. Each year’s Essay Prize winners impress me more than the last; these are the people we must encourage to study Law and enter the profession.” The Rt Hon. the Lord Walker of Gestingthorpe PC (1955)

“ Reading Law at Trinity was life-changing for me. The inspiring cast of characters in the Law Fellowship inspired and supported me throughout. The humanity and kindness I was shown were just as important as the rigorous intellectual training I received. It is vital that the legal professions recruit and retain the best candidates, whatever their background. I am delighted to see that the Fund will extend the opportunities on offer to sixth-form students and continue to support outstanding graduates as they embark on their legal careers after College.” Angela Rafferty QC (1989)
