+Secretary
Meltem Cenktas (m.cenktas@lse.ac.uk)
I'm Meltem and as the secretary my role is quite diverse. My job is dominated by taking minutes at the weekly committee meetings and sending out lots of e-mails to the Society members! Dealing with emails from our members or redirecting them to the relevant committee members is another important part of my role as this ensures that the committee is in touch with the members it represents. I am also responsible for the general organisation of the elections held in Michaelmas and Lent terms, ensuring everything is in line with the constitution. Finally it is generally my duty to book rooms for events held at the LSE and I give a helping hand to the other committee members when need be.
+Treasurer
John Maguire (j.maguire@lse.ac.uk)
As your Treasurer, my job is to look after your membership fees and to allocate these funds, along with sponsorship revenue, to various law society events throughout the year, such as freshers events, careers work shops and of course the Law Ball.
+Careers Officer
Nik Adhia (n.adhia@lse.ac.uk)
As Careers Officer I collaborate with corporate sponsors and other firms to organize career-related events and advice sessions for you.

+Events Officer
Jennifer Pei Ru Sia (j.sia@lse.ac.uk)
As events officer of the law society, my main job is to ensure that you law students have a blast at our law social events such as the freshers' dinner, x mas party and the law ball. Sourcing for venues, arranging the menu, negotiating the best deals are some of my job scopes. Besides that... I also collaborate with the rest of the law society in organising any other type of event such as corporate events or pro bono events when they need help.
+Obiter Editor

+Internal Mooting Officer
Alim Ali Amershi
Hi there! I'm Alim, and my role involves planning and organizing the LSE mooting competition. This involves attracting participants, introducing mooting to those who have not taken part before, setting the problems, finding rooms and judges, and generally ensuring that everything works out. Furthermore, I am also responsible for arranging social events afterwards and maintaining the fun aspect of mooting! If you have any queries, feel free to contact me on internal.mooting@gmail.com.
+External Mooting Officer
Kristina Wahidullah (k.p.wahidullah@lse.ac.uk)
The position of the External Mooting Officer primarily focuses on the selection, preparation and organisation of the teams that represent LSE in the external mooting competitions. This entails providing support for the participating teams throughout the competition, which includes maintaining co-ordination between the LSE teams and their opponents. Other responsibilities of the post focus on arranging rooms and judges for competitions hosted by LSE; therefore good contacts at the Bar always serves as an advantage.
+Outside Speakers Officer
Sam Bateman (s.bateman@lse.ac.uk)
I'm the Outside Speakers Officer, so it's my job to arrange for guests to come to LSE and speak to us about a whole range of topics. This is a great way of meeting some highly influential and renowned legal personalities, from various backgrounds and areas of the law. We'll keep you updated of all up-coming events via Law Society emails and also on the website.
+Alumni Relations Officer
Tom Manjaly (t.manjaly@lse.ac.uk)
I'm the Alumni Relations Officer, so it's my job to maintain strong affiliation between current law students and LSE law alumnus, thus I'm constantly in communication with the LSE Law Alumni Group to facilitate opportunities. I'm also looking to work together with the Careers Officer and the Outside Speakers Officer to organise events which are beneficial to the students in that they are career-orientated, and at the same time helping the alumni to maintain their link with LSE. We have already hosted a Summer Cocktail Reception for both alumni and students, and we look forward to doing similar events in the near future. If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback from events, please feel free to contact me at my email address above.
+UKLSA Officer
Anise Ganbold (a.ganbold@lse.ac.uk)
As the LSE's UKLSA (United Kingdom Law Students' Association) Coordinator, I am responsible for upholding the strong relationship between our school and the association. The UKLSA's main aims are to improve the education, career prospects, and social opportunities of law students. This means organizing numerous legal career events, such as the 'Bar Panel' hosted by the LSE in February. In addition, the LSE has organized a trip to the European Court of Justice in 2009 which was both informative and fun. This year there will be many more such opportunities in store and I hope that you are interested in being involved!
+Sponsorship Officer
Alexander Wicks (a.i.wicks@lse.ac.uk)
The sponsorship officer role is pretty important and comes with a lot of responsibility. Without the sponsorship revenue the law society cannot function and so requires a lot of effort, determination and time over the summer months in order to be successful and not to let down your colleagues. It can be very stressful but also rewarding when you seal a sponsorship deal with a law firm.
It encapsulates a wide range of roles and skills, from meeting and negotiating with potential sponsors as well as committee members, organising and budgeting for events and producing sponsorship plans to meet individual companies requirements. It requires creativity in exploring new avenues to raise revenue and new companies to target as well as perseverance in getting those companies to give up their money. One advantage is that you get a chance to visit all the law firms before term starts, meet their Graduate recruitment team and get the vital information on all the deadlines for Summer Internship Applications! And remember, when it comes to the Christmas party, I am the one to Thank for the cheap tickets!
+Communications Officer

Lucinda Chin-Goh (l.chin-goh@lse.ac.uk)
I'm pretty much in charge of keeping everyone in the society ''in the know'. By building on the advertising done in the weekly emails, I design and produce posters, leaflets and tickets for the various events the Society puts on. I also make sure that the year representatives are making their announcements at lectures and keeping you guys up to date on Facebook.
+Student-Staff Liaison Officer
Omar Khashaba (o.khashaba@lse.ac.uk)
As Student/Staff Liaison Officer it’s my job to represent your interests in all relevant fora and to ensure that any concerns or wishes voiced by the student body receive due attention. To facilitate this process I am aided in my work by representatives from each Year. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss any situation that you think might require my assistance.
+Web Editor
Nicholas Oh (n.c.oh@lse.ac.uk)
Hey there, I'm your web editor for the year. I will be in charge of keeping the law society blogspot and The Obiter.Online updated, as well as design a new layout for these websites. This year I will be looking into integrating these websites into Facebook and Twitter for your convenience as well.
