Scott, from Worksop, came across the opportunity to showcase his passion for law and chose to do something constructive that would benefit his studies during the Covid-19 lockdown.
The essay, which explored whether one should be criminally liable for infecting another person with a disease, took two weeks to complete, taking up a lot of time, energy, research and commitment.
As he submitted it, Scott said he didn’t think anything would come of it as he was one of more than 2,000 applications, but shortly after he received a call he had won third place.
He received a certificate, a medal and £250.
