Over the past 12 months, ALP has had some notable success, such as introducing new community initiatives; assisting over 300 school pupils in Aberdeenshire; and helping vulnerable individuals gain justice over legal disputes.

In recognition of this success, ALP was awarded a ‘Highly Commended’ accolade at the LexisNexis Legal Awards 2025 – held on 13 March at the Park Plaza London Riverbank.

Emma Naylor, deputy student director, said:  “The work that the Aberdeen Law Project does to reduce the access to justice problem is vital to Aberdeen. I am so pleased that our efforts being recognised by such a prestigious award.”

Jonathan Blackwood, deputy student director, said: “Being highly commended in this award is an incredible honour for our team. I’ve witnessed first-hand the dedication, passion, and resilience our student volunteers have put into every initiative. This recognition not only validates our efforts but also inspires us to keep pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve in the coming year.”
