The George Johnson Law Prize has been awarded to Lydia for her essay entitled ‘ An argument in favour of the Assisted Dying Bill 2023: Consideration of the Bill’s legal significance and its implications on the population of the Isle of Man, and the Island’s way of life’.
The George Johnson Law Prize is a respected award having been established in 1943 to encourage the study of the law in the Isle of Man. On 10th January 2024 Lydia was presented with the award by His Honour Deemster Corlett, a former winner of the award himself.
Fletcher Craine, Partner at Calin Wild commented “Lydia only moved to the Island in December 2022 and winning this prestigious essay competition demonstrates that Lydia has already gained considerable knowledge and expertise in Manx Law. The Assisted Dying Bill is being widely debated on the Island and her research and comments provide an insightful view on the subject.”
