Buckingham Law School students achieve national success

The University of BuckinghamUndergraduate students at The University of Buckingham Law School have achieved success at the National Client Interviewing Competition 2026.

Undergraduate law students Lillie Barratt and Geremy Miller made it to the Finals of the National Client Interviewing Competition 2026 held at St Mary’s University, with academic support from Buckingham Law School academics Dr James Slater and Charley Ann Gordon.

During the initial rounds, Lillie and Geremy successfully tackled client scenarios involving neighbour disputes and tree preservation orders in land law with professionalism.

University of BuckinghamThe Buckingham Law School students were competing against 12 leading university teams from across the UK, and continued to perform at a consistently high level in the national final, undertaking three 40‑minute client interviews across a broad range of challenging legal topics, including aggravated trespass, occupiers’ liability and negligence.

The Buckingham team finished eighth overall, their achievement reflecting both the students’ commitment and resilience, and the strength of the University of Buckingham’s advocacy and practical skills training.

Speaking about her experience at the competition, Lillie Barratt, Full-time LLB Hons student, says: “It was an honour to represent The University of Buckingham in the regional round of the Client Interviewing Competition 2026. The competition focuses on teamwork, communication, quick thinking, legal knowledge, and, most importantly, empathy. This experience has shown me that while legal knowledge is essential, clients themselves are rarely focused purely on the law. They want practical solutions, clarity about costs, and reassurance that they are not alone in the process. I am proud of our efforts and grateful for the support we have received from the Law Faculty.”

Meanwhile, Geremy Miller, also a Full-Time LLB Hons student, says, “Representing The University of Buckingham at the National Finals of the Client Interviewing Competition 2026 is something I will not forget. Travelling to compete against some of the best law students in the country was, in equal measure, surreal & deeply exciting.” He continues, “I am incredibly grateful to the Law Faculty for their support throughout this journey, and proud to have carried Buckingham’s name to the national stage.”
