On  27 January 2021, the Guyana Legal Aid Clinic made its second presentation of the Miles Greeves Fitzpatrick Prize for Legal Aid at the clinic’s Georgetown office.

The prize – in the form of books to the value of US$500 – was established in 2019 in memory of the late Fitzpatrick, a founder member and former director of the clinic and lifelong advocate for equal access to justice. It is awarded for the best performance in legal aid by a Guyanese student at the Hugh Wooding Law School, according to a release from the clinic.
