Gráinne Callanan, Co-ordinator of Law Programmes said: "It is an honour to be shortlisted as a finalist for the AIB Law School of the Year, particularly as the nomination was submitted by our students. The fact that these students have acknowledged the dedication and commitment of staff in a formal setting is edifying for the law team here at SETU. Watching our students - on both the Higher Certificate in Legal Studies and the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) - develop their legal knowledge, intellectual curiosity and transferable skills over the duration of their studies and make their mark in a diverse range of careers validates not only our teaching methodology but also our open-door policy."

Nominees are judged against the criteria set out. There are two rounds of online judging as well as judging panel meetings to determine our finalists and winners.
