The Society aims to enhance the social, educational and extra-curricular opportunities for its student members. It organises many socials throughout the year on a regular basis; these include the annual Law Ball held in City Hall, the annual Law Society Trip and many more events throughout the year.
We appreciate the difficulties of doing a law degree and the socialising that is necessary to ensure we play as hard as we work. Aside from our social focus however, we also know that University is the springboard for potential careers and the importance of improving your legal experience and help your CV flourish. You can get involved with Pro Bono (free legal advice), the Innocence Project (helping current people imprisoned present their case of innocence) and Mooting (advocacy competitions) as well as attend talks from very prestigious names in the legal world, networking events to improve your contacts for the future and the chance to visit places such as the Inns of Court to see for yourself what life is really like taking a certain career path.
There are also a multitude of other 'CV gold dust' opportunities to get involved with the Law Society, all of which look great to a prospective employer. These include, but are by no means limited to, the following: writing an article for our Law Review publication; helping to publish our new weekly newsletter; taking part in our Public Speaking Series; becoming a member of one of our important sub-committees.
