The University of Bristol Law Club hub has further assisted in making our society as accessible as possible. We’ve also provided a wider range of opportunities for non-law students and international students to ensure that we’re catering to a diverse range of members.

There are a lot of introductory events to help first-year students make sense of university life and law in general.
“There are a lot of introductory events to help first-year students make sense of university life and law in general. Moreover, the society is incredibly active during the university’s freshers’ fair and welcome week. The mentorship programme, in particular, really goes out of its way to support first years.”

We envisioned hosting some of the most prominent events in the UK, pushing the boundaries of what a law society can achieve. To turn this vision into a reality, we secured more than 30 financial sponsors − a testament to our dedication and drive.

The society is amazing for freshers, because it elects so many to committee in the second term of first year.
“The society is amazing for freshers, because it elects so many to committee in the second term of first year. Not only does this represent first years really well, but it also ensures we have events tailored specifically to us, whether careers or social. I also love how approachable all the team are.”

“The society has organised multiple events to help first years feel more comfortable settling into university. Despite the pandemic, I have been able to network with numerous law firms, gain exposure to what a legal career entails, and socialise and learn from older students.”
The UBLC has run a number of first-year specific events and this has increased because of the growing awareness of first-year schemes and how they can lead to vacation schemes or training contracts. The best first year specific activity we have in place is the UBLC Parenting Scheme.

The UBLC is a great law society because it listens to members, makes necessary changes and year on year ensures that all the leading employers are interacting with members and adding value to them.
