ABOUT US
In existence for over 70 years, the award-winning UCL Law Society is one of, if not, the most, lively and interactive of all student societies. With a wide range of events and activities provided to the society, we aim to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences between students.
We are keen to provide opportunities to both law and non-law students, enabling clear access to valuable resources and knowledge to those passionate in pursuing law.
We pride ourselves on our diversity and originality. We are students, elected by students, working with students for students!

We are an unincorporated association, holding its property on trust in favour of its objectives and members. Since its foundations, the UCL Law Society has been independent of the UCL Union. Membership of the Society is available to both current L.L.B. students at UCL and those studying other degrees. However, affiliate membership, available to all UCL students, grants access only to our career programmes.
The Society is led by its President and is fully accountable to its members and governed by its constitution. The constitution covers a range of issues including: positions on the society; rules of elections; inner-committee decision making rules; criteria of members etc.
