There were two graduations involving the Law School in July, one on 10 and the other on 12 July.
At the first graduated Maria Ithurria Benevente, who had written a thesis entitled”Taking Legal Change Seriously: Examining Calls for Modernising the Rules, Providing of Seller’s Liability for Defective Goods in the Chilean Civil Code”. Her primary supervisor was Professor Paul du Plessis.
The second ceremony was to allow those who wished to graduate in person, but who had completed their degree during the period of Covid lockdowns, to take their degree. One such was Julien Bourhis from France, who has the good fortune to live in Brittany. The title of Julien’s thesis was “Criminal Procedures in Early Seventeenth-Century Scotland: A Medieval Legacy? Pleading and Proving in the Case of Isobel Young, Prosecuted for Witchcraft (1629)”. The photo is of Julien with his primary supervisor, Professor Cairns.
