Law

Welcome from your President!

Hi, I am Aleshia Kaur Mahil, I am a 3rd year law student on the LLB, and I am very proud to introduce myself as the President of the University of Derby’s Law Society 2023/2024. 

Before I get into the exciting events and opportunities planned for the upcoming academic year, I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to last year’s committee and whilst Courtney, Josh and I are staying on, others are sadly leaving us. Thank you to Alec, Abbey, Libbie, Jade and Isaac for creating a journey full of memorable events and enriching experiences for our students here at the University and allowing the University of Derby Law Society to experience remarkable growth year on year. 

However, as we move ahead into the new academic year in September 2023, our priorities and commitment are drawn towards providing a positive, vibrant and engaging experience for our members. Worry not, as you have enthusiastic committee for this year’s Law Society, who have all been working extremely hard over the summer organising Social Events, Career Events, Sponsorship opportunities, Mooting and much more!!

This year, we have a packed calendar full of exciting, fun, informative and engaging events for our members to get involved into. In addition, these events will be regularly updated with finalised dates and times!
