“This week Exeter University was proud to host the Devon
Chambers moot final in the UK Supreme Court. The four participating students
Emma Swindell, Lauren Holmes, Graeme Whitcher and Ella Worsley tackled a
complex and interesting moot case created by Lecturer in Law Phillipa Collins
regarding discrimination in the provision of services. The judging panel
consisted of Charlotte MacKenzie of Staple Inn Chambers, Tom Lowenthal from the
University of Oxford, Professor Ronan McCrea from UCL, and was chaired by
Exeter alumni Andrew Worthley of Magdalen Chambers. The advocates did justice
to the impressive surroundings of Court 1 and all delivered accomplished and
professional submissions, dealing with various difficult interventions from the
judging panel. Second-year LLB undergraduate Ella Worsley emerged a worthy
winner, demonstrating particularly impressive legal research, professionally
structured submissions along with a persuasive, calm and fluent delivery.
Magdalen Chambers is always proud to support the University of Exeter’s Law
School and the next generation of up-and-coming barristers.”
