Eligibility

The award is available each year to an ANU student who:

• is a domestic or international student.
• enrolled in the relevant course or program during the calendar year relevant to the awarding of the prize.

Selection and Constraints

Selection is made on the basis of academic merit through the award of the highest mark in the course.

A student may not be eligible to be awarded the prize if:

• the student is making a second or subsequent attempt at the course; or
• the student has previously pursued a course of study in a course, (whether at the University or another tertiary education institution), the content of which, is in the opinion of the Dean of the ANU College of Law, substantially similar to the content of the course for which the prize is to be awarded.

The ANU College of Law reserves the right to make no award if it considers there is no applicant of sufficient merit. The ANU College of Law may also vary the number of prizes if multiple winners are identified by splitting the prize.

If a course ceases to be offered or is not offered in that year, it is at the discretion of the Dean of the ANU College of Law to nominate a prize recipient who was enrolled in a course which has similar content.

Where required, the University Medal Committee will be available for qualitative or subjective assessment determinants if a decision is not reached within the College to determine prize winners.
