INNOVATIVE lawyers have until 31 October to submit entries for the annual Society for Computers and Law (SCL) IT award.

The award is given to the firm which shows the most outstanding application of IT to law in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

Kim Walker, a partner at last year's winning firm, Rundle Walker of Exeter, said that the award "had raised the firm's profile immeasurably and also been of considerable commercial benefit".

Entry forms are available from Ruth Baker at the SCL on 0171 923 7393.

Entries can also be submitted via the group's Web site on www.scl.org.
