Monash Faculty of Law Prize Ceremony
Students are awarded prizes at the annual Monash Faculty of Law Prizes Ceremony. Undergraduate and Postgraduate unit prizes are supported by the legal and business professions as well as the Monash Faculty of Law itself.
The Faculty of Law Prize Ceremonies provide an excellent opportunity to showcase some of the Law School's finest talent and pay tribute to these students who through hard work and dedication have accomplished great success in their academic endeavours.
Recognising and encouraging outstanding academic achievement contributes to the personal and professional growth of our students and is a vital element in the development of a university education.
The financial rewards offered with our prizes are only made possible through the generous support of the many supporters both within and outside the legal profession who join with us in recognising the efforts of our high achievers.
