SoL Student Community Newsletter Feb 2024 English

Last term, the School held Coffee and Cake Socials and several topical sessions including: “Law and Criminology Referencing Session (with pizza!)”, “How your degrees are classified” and “Improving Critical Analysis and Critical Application to Maxmise your Marks”. LLM Shipping and Trade also held a visit to Aquatical House, London.

Many students got involved in a range of mooting, mediation and negotiating competitions organised by the irrepressible Dr Matthew Parry! Swansea Legal Skills Competitors Association (SLSCA) was also established to to enable students to support each other on their competition journeys. We have an exciting semester to look forward to with around 20 competitions still to take place! We’re also looking forward to the Bowling Social in February and Legal Networking Dinner in March!

SPOTLIGHT ON..... SOCIETIES

As usual, our student societies have been very active and engaged this last term. Along with their own funds, they each receive a budget from the Faculty, and have come up with many ways to spend this! Here are some examples... The Bar Society ran a Mock Trial Workshop and Newcomers Networking Social. The Canadian Law Society and Law Society each held panel events, where lawyers discussed their education, trends in areas of practice, and top tips for students as they build their skills. And Swansea Women In Law held a wide variety of socials, and supported the Operation Christmas Child Charity campaign.
