Law student or not, the University of Reading Law Society is a must-join institution for aspiring lawyers at the university. We are open to anyone who has an interest in law, studies law or has seen the array of experiences and is keen to grab the opportunities we offer with both hands. What can you expect from us? Friendly faces, huge socials, trips abroad and a helping hand in building your future career. Throughout the year the Law Society offers a wide range of socials, which are attended by many. It is the perfect way to meet new people, make some great friends and also let off any steam you may have from your studies. Some of the socials include themed events such as Cops & Robbers, our 'white t-shirt' social, and other events like quizzes and bar-crawls also on offer. Not only do we have a vast variety of socials throughout the year, we also have trips organised by our committee to various locations. One notable trip is the annual trip to Ascot, for a day of horse racing, which every year is enjoyed by many win or lose. Another great trip we have to offer is the annual trip abroad, with previous trips heading to Prague, Budapest and Amsterdam. This trip is a perfect way to escape University and visit a new cultural place. A year with the Law Society is never complete without the annual Law Ball. This event allows for members to don their best attire, enjoy a sophisticated meal and then party until the early hours of the morning. Attended by both students and academics, the Law Ball is a brilliant event that should not be missed! The Law Society does not stop at social events or trips but also offers a variety of career-advancing opportunities. We work with our sponsors to provide mooting competitions, careers talks and skills workshops. There is an annual pro-bono fair where students can also register there interest with the many pro-bono opportunities available such as mediation and volunteering.
