Not many law students conclude their university career with a trip to Buckingham Palace, but that is exactly what Liverpool John Moores (LJMU) law graduates Satya Chotalia and Sara Anzani will do this month when they collect an award from HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, after winning the English Speaking Union-Essex Court Chambers National Mooting Competition.

The pair triumphed in the prestigious competition, held in July at the President’s Court of the Royal Courts of Justice in London – a far cry from the more modern academic surroundings of LJMU’s campus.
