Former College of Law York student Fay Marshall has been awarded a prestigious law student award for outstanding performance in her family law studies.

Fay, from South Milford, has won the annual Resolution Prize awarded by Resolution, an organisation with more than 6,500 members who are family law professionals committed to easing the pain of family breakdown with minimal conflict.

The Resolution Prize is awarded to the student who obtains the highest overall mark in the family law paper of the Legal Practice Course across The College of Law’s eight nationwide centres.

Everyone intending to become a solicitor must pass this course before proceeding to the next stage of practice.
