President's Welcome
Dear Members,
Our society was founded in 2022 by La'Shaunna Williamson at Cardiff University to provide a platform and community for women in law, both as students and as aspiring legal professionals.
Membership is not limited to women completing a law degree. Instead, bringing together all genders and degree paths, united with the shared passion of promoting and supporting women in law. From our founding, we have been committed to keeping a low membership cost of just £2 for the full year, ensuring that our society remains as accessible as possible in our endeavours to support all women and gender minorities in claiming their success in the legal industry.
We offer a range of informative, career-based sessions and competitions with a commitment to developing the legal skills imperative for the workplace such as commercial awareness, networking, advocacy and confidence, focusing on creating a safe and supportive space for each individual to thrive both within and outside of our society and university.
Alongside our essential CV-building commitments, we recognise the importance of building a community to support one and other throughout our time at university, offering a range of social events to cater to all members and allowing people to make connections with those who share similar passions of uplifting women in the legal field. We ensure to offer a range of both non-alcoholic and alcoholic socials to provide something for everyone!
During my term as President, I pledge to support and promote education within the legal sector on how we can collectively increase diversity and inclusion within the profession, while upholding these principles as a core value of our society. Supporting the health and wellbeing of our members is another of our key priorities, and we will continue to do so through our social media platforms and personal presence. Each member of our committee will be available to offer support and guidance to anyone who may need it.
Our endeavours to ensure women are viewed and treated equally as their peers within the wider legal sector are ongoing and it is a privilege to be doing so as a part of the Cardiff University Women in Law Society for the third year. I look forward to seeing how our society, its members and I grow throughout this chapter.
Please never hesitate to contact myself or the society with any questions, queries or concerns. I look forward to meeting everyone at our events!
Lola Batters
2026/2027 President
