“The society has been exceptional in developing members’ commercial awareness through a range of impactful initiatives. The newsletter stands out as a consistent and reliable resource, keeping members updated on key legal and commercial developments. In addition, the society hosts events with leading City law firms nearly every other day, offering exposure to diverse practice areas and industries.”

“The society’s efforts have provided unparalleled opportunities for members to enhance their commercial awareness and knowledge of the legal industry. Efforts include its mentoring scheme, flagship commercial awareness programme and the introduction of a commercial awareness competition. The committee helps to make super intimidating topics seem less intense and give you a way into understanding everything.”

“There are so many publications aimed at improving commercial awareness, as well as guidance from career events. There are also specific competitions aimed at commercial awareness which are so beneficial.”

“The society’s dedication to commercial awareness is exceptional. There are regular talks on developing commercial and business acumen, which are run in partnership with external organisations. The commercial awareness competition is extremely useful and allows us to test our commercial awareness in four rounds with huge prizes. I think they have outdone themselves this year!”

The UEA Law Society is one of the largest, popular and most prestigious societies at the university. We cater for all students, whether studying law or otherwise, providing an excellent social calendar year round offering social gatherings, as well as inexpensive trips abroad to cities such as Amsterdam, unavailable to most other students and societies they may be part of.
