The Union Internationale des Avocats (UIA – International Association of Lawyers: www.uianet.org/en) organizes the 6th Jacques Leroy International Prize – Business and Human Rights. All law students under 30 years old are invited to conduct a written reflection (dissertation, pleading, commentary practical case) on a topic related to the theme of Business and Human Rights. In 2015, the topic deals with Human Rights in the Workplace and Supply Chain Monitoring: how can compliance with exacting standards be reconciled with the use of local SMEs in emerging countries?

The winner will be awarded with a free registration for the 2015 Valencia Congress, a cash prize of €1,000 and a free membership in the UIA for a year. A unique opportunity for students to present their work to a panel of experienced lawyers, build a network of contacts from all around the world and move ahead with their future career as an international lawyer.
