Two of the recipients contacted the School of Law to express their gratitude for receiving their prizes:

“Wow! This feels like the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you all so much for this generous prize”

“Thank you for the Bob Hughes Prize for Law. If you would, please extend my thanks to those who recommended and approved my name. It was a surprise. The prize would always remind me of the personal contribution of Bob Hughes and the vision he had for the UNE School of Law. I think I will be using the prize money to attend an academic workshop (and for publication) in the near future.”
