Welcome to Trinity 2012 with the Oxford Law Society! Summer has arrived, and we’ve organised a fantastic array of events to help you all make the most of it. As always we have something for every interest; from spectacular socials and gourmet dinners to fascinating speaker events and informative presentations, LawSoc has it all.
President’s Drinks raises the curtain and the bar for a Trinity term with more socials than any in Law Society memory, as the Oxford Union Debating Chamber welcomes us back for an evening of live music, dubious dancing and unlimited drinks.Second week sees the latest instalment of ‘Ice Cream Indulgence’ at G&D’s, an event which is quickly winning its way into the hearts of our members with its great combination of delicious food and easy-going atmosphere.As the term gets properly under way, join us for ‘Tapas and Sangria at Al Andalus. Bigger and better than ever before, the enticing addition of live Flamenco dancing makes this a night you certainly don’t want to miss.The Oxford Law Society Wine Tasting never fails to meet and exceed the expectations of our discerning members. This term doesn’t look like being any exception, and we invite you to join us in fourth week for this exclusive LawSoc classic. The second half of term is even more packed than the first; ‘Cocktails and Cupcakes’ at the Grand Café needs little in the way of explanation, and along with Pimms and Punting just paves the way for the climax of the term. The infamous ‘Champagne and Chocolates’ caps off 7th in style and sets the scene for the prestige event of the summer term: the Oxford Law Society Summer Ball. In the stunning environs of Woburn Abbey’s Sculpture Gallery, we’re lining up a truly unforgettable night of dinner, dance and entertainment, and we warmly invite you to join us for what promises to be the social highlight of the term.
But we’re not all about Socials! Two giants in commercial law, Baker & McKenzie and DLA Piper, will be offering invaluable advice and practice to our members on negotiation and commercial awareness. The College of Law’s presentation on routes into every sort of legal career is always extremely useful for anyone interested in exploring possibilities in the legal world. An exciting addition to our usual mix of American and British-based law firms comes in the form of Beijing Yingke, the second largest law firm in China, and its most ambitious representative on the international scene. We are also returning to the LawSoc tradition of speaker events. We are excited to welcome Amy Jeffress, legal attaché at the U.S embassy and veteran of Barack Obama’s changes at Guantanamo, and Dinah Rose QC, of Blackstone Chambers, who has acted in cases of the highest profile for Binyam Mohamed and Julian Assange.
I’m extremely excited about the way this term is shaping up, and can’t wait to meet as many of you as possible at one of our events very soon!
Yours,
Alex Body
President
