Gray’s Inn is delighted to announce the award of the Michael Mustill Scholarship to five Members in 2024:
- Divya Behl
- Chester Chan
- Mariam Ibrahim

The Michael Mustill Scholarship seeks to support those who have not yet secured pupillage, but are looking to undertake further study, an internship, or work placement in the field of Internal Dispute Resolution (ADR), with a particular focus on arbitration.
The scholarship award is funded in partnership with the International Dispute Resolution Centre (IDRC) to commemorate the life and work of Michael Mustill.
About Michael Mustill
Lord Mustill of Pateley Bridge was called to the Bar by Gray’s Inn in 1955 and was made a Bencher in 1976. He was one of the great figures of international and domestic arbitration, as a practitioner, author, scholar, judge and arbitrator.
