Looking back so far...

Reviewing some of the events in Michaelmas term '09 so far...
We had a Fresher's Fayre booth, in which 505 members joined our society; since then, we have had more than 100 members join, making the total number of members 640. It was followed by the Big Night Out where most of our freshers joined in for a great dinner and fun party afterwards.
We organised The Legal Apprentice, a pro bono fundraising event - see here for the results!
We also participated in the Dechert Quiz, held on the 4th December at Dechert's offices. You can see their website at http://www.dechert.com/. We entered 5 teams consisting of four students each. The other universities who participated were King's College London and University College London, who also entered 5 teams each.

The Quiz was similar to a pub quiz - quite relaxed and informal, and consisted of rounds such as music and sport while some of the questions had a legal theme. It was held last year as well and will hopefully continue, as most of our participants had a great time.
