Bringing some added beauty to the bar – the underdog beautician who kicked some legal behinds…

When Georgina Blackwell, a 23 year old Essex beautician saw off a team of barristers in court, she might just have kickstarted a promising legal career for herself. Lined up against a legal team representing Bellway Homes, she managed to overturn a previous High Court judgment and in the process win her mother £75,000 compensation.

And on the back of that she has won a scholarship to law school. The beautician barrister did previously consider a legal career but turned down offers to study law at university, instead opting to help out in the family business.

However, in recognition of her natural legal abiltity (and possibly for a bit of free PR), BPP has now offered Ms Blackwell a £10,000 scholarship. It is understood that she would study the LLB, followed by the Bar Professional Training Course but has not yet confirmed her acceptance.
