Edge Hill University Law Students’ Society
Edge Hill University’s Law Students’ Society is a student led academic organisation created for and by law students.
Our Society has a strong presence in the School of Law and Criminal Justice, and plans a series of events planned for students throughout the year. Our main goal is to help student enjoy the full experiences of university life and get the most from it.
A taste of what the society does:
- Winter and summer ball to celebrate the end of semesters.
- Mentoring to give students someone to reach out to if they are struggling or want some advice.
- Careers and alumni networking events.
- Topical events like International Women’s Day, or those involving barristers or solicitors.
- We have student lead and created workshops on different employment and university skills like how to create a successful LinkedIn profile.
- We also actively find opportunities for students in external competitions and work experience chances.
- Our Society has a student led fundraising team with the 2022/23 charity being Freshfield Animal Rescue Shelter.
- We also recruit first year representatives each year, along with by the end of your first academic year lots of other roles available to get involved in.
