A LAW student from Hereford won a week's work experience after writing an essay about an area of law she felt needed to be reformed.

Anya Capel, who studies at Hereford Sixth Form College, wrote a 1,000-word essay was about the law which governs non-fatal offences such as actual and grievous bodily harm.

Miss Capel will spend her half term working in departments across Harrison Clark Rickerbys and has been presented the award by partner Robert Beaumont at the firm's offices.

Mr Beaumont, who was, one of the judges, said: "We had some really interesting entries on a wide range of topics, including murder, non-fatal offences and prison reform.

"The quality of the essays from the students was really high, but Anya's stood out. She is a very worthy winner."
