Sidney Sussex College

EVAN LEWIS-THOMAS LAW STUDENTSHIPS 2000-2001

The Governing Body of Sidney Sussex College offers annually, for men and women who are not already members of the College, a number of Evan Lewis-Thomas Law Studentships for research or advanced courses in law or cognate subjects in the University of Cambridge. If candidates of sufficient merit present themselves, elections will next be made in May 2000. Under the terms of the will of the late Judge Evan Lewis-Thomas, candidates must have shown proficiency in law and jurisprudence, usually, but not necessarily, by obtaining a university degree in law by August 2000. Normally, they must be or become candidates for the Ph.D. Degree, the Diploma in Legal Studies, the Diploma in International Law, the M.Phil. Degree (one-year course) in Criminology, or the LL.M. Degree. Candidates for the Ph.D. Degree who apply for these Studentships may also apply for research studentships offered by the College.

These Studentships, which are subject to reviews of diligence and progress, are tenable for one year in the first instance but may be renewed annually up to a maximum of three years. Their value will depend on the candidate's needs in the light of support from other sources and on the availability of income from the Evan Lewis-Thomas Fund. All holders of Studentships will receive at least £1,000 a year, but Studentships of larger value, up to full support of fees (at the 'Home' rate) and maintenance, may be awarded.

Election to a Studentship may be made conditional upon satisfactory results in degree examinations and is in all cases conditional upon the person elected being accepted by the Board of Graduate Studies if he or she is a candidate for the Ph.D. Degree, the M.Phil. Degree, or a Diploma, or by the Degree Committee for the Faculty of Law if he or she is a candidate for the LL.M. Degree. Application for acceptance by the Board or the Degree Committee is made through the Board under the Cambridge Intercollegiate Graduate Application Scheme (CIGAS), 4 Mill Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1RZ, England. In electing to Studentships, first consideration will be given to candidates who nominate Sidney Sussex as their College of first preference on CIGAS Form A. Preference will be given to candidates who will be under twenty-six years of age on 1 October 2000, though special circumstances (e.g. military service) can be taken into account.

An application form for these Studentships may be obtained from the Tutor for Graduate Students, Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, CB2 3HU, England. Completed applications must reach him not later than 1 February 2000. An elected Student will be required to come into residence as a member of the College in October 2000. It is normally possible to provide a room in College or in one of the College's hostels for a single person. A small number of College flats are available for married couples.
