Debating

Debating competitions at UCL Law Society are prestigious and competitive. We hold an internal debating competition every year. The UCL Debating Competition is an opportunity to develop your advocacy skills and stand out by debating against fellow law students. Our inter-varsity debates are against elite Russell Group universities, giving you the chance to interact with major law societies in the UK. Commercial law debates will allow you to engage in a specialist debate in an area of law, and to simultaneously network with international law firms.

Although debating at the university level can be daunting, we have a supportive debating network at UCL Law Society. A subcommittee of talented debaters trains and provides feedback to participants throughout the year. Even if you have never debated before, a training guide is released annually to familiarise each participant with UCL Law Society Debates.

Debating at UCL Law Society perfectly complements the law degree, and we look forward to your participation!
