Pegasus scholars from the USA and New Zealand were welcomed to Faculty recently and given a tour of the Advocates Library by Michael Upton. The Pegasus scholarship scheme was founded in 1987 by Lord Goff of Chieveley to build bridges between countries operating the common law system and is supported by the four Inns of Court in London. The Pegasus Trust has incoming and outgoing scholarships, and, in Lord Goff’s words, “makes it possible for gifted young lawyers - the future leaders of their professions - to learn about the practical working of the common law system in countries other than their own, and to form enduring links with lawyers in those countries.”
