More than 30 high achieving Griffith Law students were honoured for their academic accomplishments at the Dean’s Law Awards—headlined by the Dean’s Thesis Award recognising the best honours student research dissertation completed last year.
Surfing enthusiast and law student Todd Berry took home the award for the most outstanding student thesis for his original work which argued urban planning and development needed to consider the ‘traditional knowledge’ of surfers.
Deputy Head of Learning and Teaching at Griffith Law School Associate Professor Therese Wilson says, students who complete an honours thesis are setting themselves up for the future.
“It’s an opportunity to develop and demonstrate expertise in an area of law, through a sustained piece of research, which can be very valuable to a prospective employer and qualifies them for admission into our higher degrees by research,” says Therese.
Sponsors and donors to the Griffith Law School were also acknowledged with a vote of thanks
