#WinOfTheWeek this week? Easy. Here are FRU assistant legal officer Brandi Amiss-Towler and social security tribunal volunteer Angel Leworthy at their Call ceremony at @lincolnsinn yesterday. Congratulations Brandi and Angel on this fantastic achievement!

We were fortunate to hear from Jason Beer KC from @5essexchambers at our AGM last night. Jason said that FRU was a "great place to start" in demonstrating your work ethic and commitment as a lawyer. He emphasised the value of hard work and kindness in establishing yourself.
