Reon Miller of Boston & Boston is the winner of the Guyana Legal Aid Clinic’s fourth Miles Greeves Fitzpatrick Prize for Legal Aid.

The prize is awarded for the best performance in legal aid by a Guyanese student at the Hugh Wooding Law School. Miller chose Zuckerman on Civil Procedure and Cross & Tapper on Evidence for his prize. The prize – in the form of books to the value of US$500 – was established in 2019 in memory of the late Fitzpatrick, a founder member and former director of the clinic and lifelong advocate for equal access to justice.
