Womble Bond Dickinson Honour Roll

The Honour Roll, which is generously sponsored by Womble Bond Dickinson, is recognition of a student’s achievement on a year of a course within the Law School. Students will be awarded a certificate which they may use to support their C.V. and other forms of job application.

The top 10% (subject to achieving additional criteria) of all law students (excluding final year students) form the Honour Roll for that year.  

Successful students are usually also invited to attend a celebration event at Womble Bond Dickinson's offices.
