Law

Welcome back to the new academic year everyone!

I'm Megan and I am a third-year LLB student. I am this year's President of the Law Society, after being last year's secretary on the committee. In addition to this role, I am also the Union societies chair within the student union working with all of the Societies.

As the only law-related academic society, we are welcoming all Law students across the university. in addition, if you are so a non-law student who has an interest in the law this society may also be for you, to engage with others who share a similar interest.

This year we hope to offer a greater variety of career events that broadcast the different career options that a law degree can offer in both the legal field and in non-law related opportunities. We also hope to broadcast both the traditional and non-traditional routes into the Legal field.

Our charity for this year: Support through court 

We are super excited to meet and welcome you all whether you are new students or returning students, whether you are interested in Law seeking to network or enhance your legal understanding.
