A LAW graduate has received a prestigious award.

Natalie Roberts, 26, graduated from the College of Law, Chester, last year.

Earlier this month she returned to the college to receive the coveted Brown Dunne & Gray prize for obtaining the highest mark in advanced litigation in the 2009 legal practice course examinations.

She joined GHP Legal, in Wrexham, in July 2009 after completing her course in Chester.

Natalie said: “I’m delighted both to have won this award from Chester College of Law, and with the experience I have received since commencing my training contract at GHP Legal.

“In particular, I am enjoying being able to put my academic knowledge into practice and improving my advocacy skills at every opportunity.”

The mum-of-one, of Wrexham, originally gained a degree in psychology and worked as an applied behaviour analysis tutor for autistic children, but after taking an A-level in law she decided to change career.
