I am delighted to welcome you to Trinity Term 2008 at the Oxford Law Society!

I endeavor this term to fill your long summer days with more traditional Law Society decadence, champagne fuelled glamour and imperative professional opportunities.

The Oxford Law Society Executive Committee have been working very hard to bring you the highest calibre of events this Trinity. We begin in first week with our perpetually popular staple, ‘Unprecedented Presidential Drinks’ with its infamous cocktails in the beautiful surroundings of the Oxford Town Hall, followed by an evening in second week of delectable Cocktails and delicious Canapés at Escape, to continue the mixology! Our members only entry and free drinks promotion at The Bridge makes a return, as does the legendary Champagne and Chocolates, no OULS term would be complete without it. I am very proud to announce, that this term is not lacking in an infamous and extravagant Law Society Ball, and this Trinity we bring you a night of enthralling entertainment and timeless glamour in the delicate surroundings of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. As if this was not enough, we also bring you two events to enjoy those long summer afternoons. We have a Boat Party and a Garden Party, in the beautiful enclosures of St Benet's garden quad.

We do provide more than just champagne and parties however. Of course, an Oxford Law Society term would not be complete without an array of stimulating speakers, careers presentations and mooting events. This Trinity we welcome Lord Goldsmith and Anthony Julius, who will speak about the timeless debate of censorship. We also see the return of all of the Mooting events we’ve seen in previous terms, from the Novice speedmoot to the termly Crown Office Mooting competition. There are the usual variety of insightful careers events, which are always very useful and a good way of accessing interesting and helpful advice from those in the know from Graduate Recruitment. Remember also to look out for Verdict, our termly magazine which, as ever will have highly interesting contributors who will undoubtedly provide a spark for intellectual debate.

The Oxford Law Society would not be the wonderful society it is without its members. I would like to thank you all for your continuing support and enthusiasm, which ensures the Oxford Law Society, goes from strength to strength every term.

I hope you all have a wonderful Trinity term and I do greatly look forward to seeing you at our events for what will be a truly incredible term. Do feel free to contact me personally, or any of my committee members if you have any queries.
