Haresh said: “I am so pleased to say that this year’s Award magazine, which can be bought online, is full of exceptional talent and highlights the crème de la crème of the top 50 global achievers and 4 honorary winners.
“The committee has been scouting for a venue for the awards for some time and Leicester has been chosen as it is
one of the most harmonious and cosmopolitan cities around the world with a unique mixture of many races and nationalities. The Law School, where I studied, has an international reputation and given the context of the film ‘Provoked’, it is apt that the event is being held at the University of Leicester.”
Priya Chhaya, Academic Officer from the University of Leicester Law Society, which is hosting the event, said: “The University of Leicester Law Society is delighted to hold this unique event. It has particular relevance for our students, as the film ‘Provoked’ is based on the highly influential House of Lords case; R v Ahluwalia. Provocation is a vital topic within 3rd year Criminal Law and also overlaps with other modules such as Criminology. We believe that the evening will be academically relevant, as well as enjoyable.”
The Triangle Media Group’s online global awards were instigated by Australian Media tycoon and legal scholar Professor David Flint.
