Diploma student wins BTO prize for top marks in contract course

A Diploma student’s hard work paid off after she was awarded a prize for her performance in a commercial contracts course.

Caroline Marshall (pictured) has been awarded the BTO Solicitors LLP prize after gaining top marks in the module at Glasgow University.

Ms Marshall said: “I am absolutely delighted with this news. Commercial Contracts was a joy to take during my time on the Diploma.”

She added: “The lectures were also really interesting to attend and the assessments covered a variety of new and challenging subjects.

“The course overall has been hugely helpful and I now feel far more prepared to begin my traineeship… I really owe a big thanks to Alastair Dunn of BTO Solicitors, along with all the other Diploma staff.”

Corporate partner Alastair Dunn was invited in 2015 to write the course content by Glasgow University Law School and has been involved in delivering the course during the last two academic years.

Fiona Macaulay, administrator for the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice, said: “I would like to thank BTO Solicitors for their continued support given to the Diploma and the Diploma team would like to offer Caroline many congratulations on a wonderful achievement – well done!”
