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.

Our Representatives

INTRODUCING THE NEW YEAR REPRESENTATIVES...

First Year Representatives: Riaz Pirmohamed and Rhodri Lewis

Second Year Representatives: Sanjay Dave and Danielle Richardson

Third Year Representatives: Nazia Khanzada and Malvika Monga

Here's what they have to say...

+ First Year Representatives

As first year reps essentially our job is to make sure life for the first years runs as smoothly as possible, and as such we are your mouthpiece through which you can canvass your opinions, comments or ideas to the LSE SU Law Society. I also help to organise and promote events happening within the society, ensuring the first years are kept well informed of all events and activities, ranging from careers opportunities to parties! So if you have any questions, ideas or problems please feel free to contact me.

+ Second Year Representatives

Hi, we are your Second Year Reps. Basically our job is to give the students what they want. We are here to find out your views and represent them to the LSE staff so they can be acted upon. We hope to improve your LSE law experience by doing this effectively. We also help in publicising Law Society events, so the chances are if you are aware of anything related to the Law Society it is because of us.

+ Third Year Representatives


We are representing third year students and we are here to reflect your views to both the society and the law department.

Pro-bono Legal Apprentice - Result!

The three teams that participated in the Pro-bono Legal Apprentice Challenge raised £481.57 in total! Morrison & Forester, our sponsors for the event, donated £500. The Law Society will therefore be giving £931.57 to the Bar Pro-bono Unit!

Congratulations to all the teams who put in a lot of hard work, even when the weather was miserable!

The winning team was Priscilla Abishegam’s team with their curry stall, raking in profits of £383.39! They will be enjoying their prize of indoor skydiving very soon!
