LCN’s Student Law Society Awards 2020 open for submissions
updated on 06 November 2019
LawCareers.Net (LCN) is delighted to announce the launch of the 2020 Student Law Society Awards sponsored by BarBri International.
The annual Student Law Society Awards set out to recognise and celebrate the important work of student-run law societies at universities all over the UK. There are 13 awards up for grabs, from best society for non-law students to best social media. This year we are pleased to announce a brand new award: best society for commercial awareness, which is sponsored by legal content hub Lexology.
The judging of the awards is based on each law society’s submissions from their president and committee, and a survey of their members.
The awards are:
- Best at student engagement – sponsored by Kirkland & Ellis International LLP
- Best social media – sponsored by Shoosmiths
- Best careers event – sponsored by Reed Smith
- Best social event – sponsored by Eversheds Sutherland (International) LLP
- Best society for non-law students – sponsored by Osborne Clarke LLP
- Best society for first-year students – sponsored by Burges Salmon LLP
- Best society for commercial awareness – sponsored by Lexology
- Best society for aspiring barristers – sponsored by Inns of Court College of Advocacy (ICCA)
- Best mooting activities – sponsored by Crown Prosecution Service
- Best pro bono activities – sponsored by DLA Piper UK LLP
- Most committed to increasing diversity – sponsored by Baker McKenzie (in conjunction with Aspiring Solicitors)
- Best law society president – sponsored by Norton Rose Fulbright
- Best law society overall – sponsored by DWF Group Plc
We thank our headline sponsor BarBri International.
Societies wishing to be considered for the awards should first make a submission detailing the society’s events and activities. We want to get a real feel for what the society does and to highlight some of your proudest achievements as a group. Please contact Bethany Wren at [email protected] for further information on how to make a submission.
Student law society members should also complete a survey about their society here, with every member who submits a survey entered into a prize draw to win a £100 Amazon voucher.
The deadline for submissions of both surveys is Friday 10 January 2020. For more information, visit the Student Law Society Awards microsite which features last year’s winning societies.
