Law societies, law firms and chambers representatives, multi-award-winning charity upReach and the LawCareers.Net team gathered last night on Thursday 13 March 2025 to celebrate the eleventh annual LawCareers.Net Student Law Society Awards, sponsored by BARBRI.
The purpose of the awards is to highlight the hard work of student law societies across the UK through a range of different award categories – from ‘Best society for first-year students’ to ‘Best society for commercial awareness’.
Nominees across the 13 award categories were praised for their hard work in engaging, encouraging and providing opportunities for their members.
Nominated societies were selected from the submissions of committees themselves, alongside more than 2,100 votes from their members.
Content and engagement coordinator at LawCareers.Net, Dimitar Dimitrov, commented: “The Student Law Society Awards is one of our favourite events at LawCareers.Net. It provides us with invaluable insights into the operations of student law societies and highlights the tremendous effort and dedication of their committees.
"Now in the 11th year of the awards, it’s clearer than ever that societies are actively engaging and supporting their members throughout every stage of their future legal careers.
