University academic honours members of the armed forces

Tuesday 13 December 2011

An academic at the University's Ealing Law School toasted members of the armed services both past and present at the annual Middlesex Law Society dinner.

Professor Malcolm Davies, Head of the Ealing Law School and former president of the Middlesex Law Society had the honour of proposing a toast to the 200 members and guests at the dinner.

The dinner took place on 11 November 2011 at the Renaissance Hotel in Heathrow.

The event attracted lawyers and their guests from west London and Middlesex and included  Michael Garson who is Honorary Professor at Ealing Law School and is also an elected member  of the Law Society Council.

The evening consisted of speeches, toasts, raffles and a seven piece dance band called 'Kokos'.

Commenting on his toast at the Middlesex Law Society dinner, Professor Malcolm Davies, Head of the University's Law School, said:

'The annual Middlesex Law Society dinner was held on Armistice day this year.  It is important for those who serve the public by providing the means to bring to life the realities of the Rule of Law and Civil Rights to appreciate that there are soldiers, sailors and airman who regularly put their life at risk to protect these rights that we enjoy in this country.'
