Applications open for CLANZ-Bell Gully Scholarship and Prize
A total of $9,500 in prizes is available to the winners of this year's Corporate Lawyers' Association of New Zealand (CLANZ)-Bell Gully Scholarship and Prize, open to in-house lawyers and senior law students respectively.
The Scholarship winner will receive a $5,000 scholarship package, designed to advance their professional career.
The Scholarship is open to all CLANZ members (in-house counsel employed by New Zealand companies, government departments and other organisations, not in private practice). The Scholarship will be awarded for the best paper on the topic "Tips, Tools and Techniques for Developing an In-house Compliance Programme". Two $500 cash prizes are available for runners-up.
The Prize winner will receive a $2,500 cash prize, with two runner-up prizes of $500 also available.
The Prize is open to senior undergraduate law students (third year or above) enrolled at New Zealand universities, and will be awarded for the best paper on the topic "Maintaining a healthy workplace - strategies for employers in light of the inclusion of stress and fatigue as workplace hazards in the new Health and Safety in Employment Amendment Act".
"The Scholarship helps in-house lawyers develop their skills and careers, and provides an opportunity to share experiences and insights with their professional colleagues, while the Prize encourages senior law students to consider a career as an in-house lawyer," said Ron Pol, President of CLANZ.
"This is the second year that Bell Gully has sponsored the Scholarship and Prize, and we consider it an important part of our wider support for CLANZ and the in-house profession," said David Flacks, Bell Gully Partner.
