George Grammer-Taylor and Samantha Smith
On Saturday 12th March 2022, Samantha Smith and George Grammer-Taylor represented the University of Sussex at the National Final of the Client Interviewing Competition 2022.
The National Final consisted of two stages and the topic for the entire competition was Contract Law in the context of entertainment and sport.
The first stage tasked them to interview a client who came to them with issues surrounding their social media. They successfully advanced onto the second stage of the National Final after placing first in their group.
The second stage, consisting of the Top 3 teams, tasked students to interview a client who encountered issues during the process of scheduling a wedding.
After a challenging and engaging National Final, Samantha and George were placed as the winners of this year's competition. They will now represent England & Wales at the International Client Interviewing Competition 2022.
Samantha said about the experience “We are incredibly honoured to have represented Sussex and now to go onto represent England & Wales!” George said about the experience “It’s incredible to prove to the rest of the nation that Sussex Law Students can succeed as they have faith, trust, teamwork and a fantastic support network from our faculty Jeanette Ashton and Paven Basuita, as well as our regular practice client Hannah Kamphaug”.
