It is with great sadness that we announce the death of OU LLB graduate (2012) and pupil barrister, Richard Murtagh. He is remembered by friend and former OULS chair Amy Woolfson. I was first introduced to Richard in early 2014. I was coming to the end of my LLB with the Open University and was considering studying an LLM at a bricks and mortar university. Richard was one step ahead of me, having graduated from the Open University in 2012. He was studying for an LLM at the University of Birmingham.
