The Barry Sullivan Law Cup Public Speaking Contest featured 22 students from throughout BC who presented their speeches in front of judges at the Law Courts. All participants were well-prepared and presented interesting viewpoints. The winner of the Barry Sullivan Law Cup was Sophie Bannar-Martin of St. Margaret’s School.

The Law Week 2002 theme “Freedom and the Charter in the 21st Century” was incorporated into student entries for the Short Story Contest, which was won by Amanda Bartusek of South Peace Senior School.

All Photo Contest entries were well-received by judges and the public. The winner of the Photo Contest was Gerald Rarama of Killarney Secondary School. All contest entries may be viewed at www.bccba.org.

The Student Mentor Program introduced the practice of law to students as dozens of lawyers visited schools to speak on the law or hosted job-shadowing students at their offices.

We express our sincere thanks to all judges and members who participated in making Law Week 2002 a great success.
