“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!”

“There is something for everyone in terms of mooting, and the mooting team is absolutely incredible. Aside from there being regular opportunities, they make an effort to reach out to you and help you to develop your mooting skills. There are also a range of mooting topics.”

“The first-year events are great, both social and career wise. The society ran many opportunities and activities to engage with freshers, even during the pandemic. And they distributed lots of resources for applications. Plus, there are a variety of competitions to get involved in as a first-year student!”

“I don’t think any other society does as good a job as this one for aspiring barristers. By becoming a member and participating in their events, you will develop a complete and holistic CV, as well as learn and grow as a student. It’s the ultimate society for those looking to enter the Bar.”

“This society is the best I’ve seen at engaging non-law students! They have a specific non-law social media and a very thorough non-law guide with all the information you need on converting to law and understanding the industry. They’ve also hosted brilliant non-law events with other academic societies, which are very illuminating and helpful.”

“The society’s social media is lively and informative. The eye-catching aesthetic of the channels, alongside the concise and well-written information facilitate an easy engagement with all of the opportunities on offer. The society is also open to the views of its members and encourages everyone to contribute to make the work it carries out the best it can be.”

“The society consists of a range of pro bono projects, each with its own team, branding, social media and unique goals. There’s so much to get involved in. One particular event that comes to mind as being innovative is when the society partnered with a homelessness group photography class to take headshots of students – I thought this was an amazing way to bring people together.”

“This year has seen the biggest push in increasing diversity for many years, with a myriad of schemes, including a first-of-its-kind bursary scheme for ethnic minorities. Alongside the regular diversity events, there is a diversity council with elected heads to advise the committee – which is a great structural way to increase diversity. As a student from a minority group, the support and information from the society has made me feel much more at home not only in the society, but in Nottingham as a whole.”
