The LJMU Law Society is one of the university’s largest and most respected academic communities, dedicated to supporting students with an interest in law. We offer a wide range of opportunities designed to enrich your academic journey and professional development, whether you’re aiming for a traditional legal career or exploring other paths where legal knowledge is valuable.
The LJMU Law Society is a prestigious, student-led organisation that welcomes all students with a passion for law, regardless of their background or future career plans. As one of the biggest academic societies on campus, we pride ourselves on creating an inclusive and supportive environment that enhances the student experience. Our mission is to provide members with valuable opportunities to develop their legal knowledge, practical skills, and professional networks. We understand that not every member aspires to be a solicitor or barrister, so we offer diverse activities and resources that cater to a variety of legal and related career paths. From academic workshops and guest speaker sessions to social events and charity work, we strive to support your ambitions both inside and outside the classroom.

Our online platforms are your best source for timely announcements on networking events, social gatherings, mooting sessions, and more. Whether you’re looking for academic enrichment or social engagement, we keep you informed so you never miss out.
Entering the legal profession is highly competitive, and being part of the LJMU Law Society gives you a significant edge. As a member, you gain access to exclusive events such as our Legal Professional Evenings and Networking sessions, where you can meet industry experts, build meaningful connections, and explore work experience opportunities. Our annual Law Ball is one of the biggest social highlights of the year, providing a chance to relax and celebrate alongside peers and lecturers. For those interested in advocacy, our mooting sessions offer an intellectually stimulating environment to develop crucial skills like legal research, public speaking, and time management—skills highly sought after by law firms and valuable in many careers beyond law. We also host a variety of socials and charity events, catering to different preferences including both lively drinking nights and more relaxed, alcohol-free gatherings. If you enjoy sports, you can join fellow society members in intramural football and netball teams, combining fitness with friendship. Joining the LJMU Law Society means you’re investing in your future while making the most of your university experience.
Each society is led by a student committee responsible for running the society, organising activities, and representing its members. The committee is chaired by the Society President, with support from other elected roles.
