President's Welcome
Dear Members,
Our society was founded in 2022 by La'Shaunna Williamson at Cardiff University to provide a platform for all women in law, both as citizens but also members of the legal profession.
The membership is not limited to female law students and comprises of a variety of degree subjects and genders, all with the common interest in promoting women in law. We offer low cost membership, priced at £2, to all students which allows us to be an accessible and open platform for all, one of La'Shaunna's biggest aims for the society. CU Women in Law Society is proud to be a society for all those who identify as women and non-binary. We promise to support all women and gender minorities in claiming their success in the legal industry.
We organise an exciting range of social events, informative career based sessions and opportunities for students to make friends with all those aspiring for a legal career. We hope to develop your commercial awareness, networking skills and confidence, all key assets to seeking a career in law. We as a committee strive to help you develop individually so that you can be successful in whichever professional pathway you choose to take (as there are many pathways you may not already know of).
We are extremely committed to ensuring student well-being with our continued social media and in person presence and a key member of our committee being on hand to personally talk to any student. We are extremely committed to educating the legal sector in what they can do to increase the diversity and inclusion in the profession and therefore our society upholds the core principle of inclusion.
It is a great privilege to be a part of this society and this year we remain building the foundations so that in years to come it still stands and welcomes generations of women and non-binary individuals. I hope you enjoy being a part of the society and any reviews are welcome.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, queries or concerns and I look forward to seeing you at our events!
