President’s Address
Hi Everyone!
My Name is Agastya Rao, I am a 2nd Year Undergraduate Law Student at Regent’s Park
College, and I would like to wish our members a very warm welcome to Hilary Term 2026.
My journey at OLS started with me learning the ropes as a College Rep, and then planning my
Diversity Drinks and the Diversity Panel as Diversity Officer this past Michaelmas.I am excited
to give back to the Society and serve our members as President for this upcoming term.
Over the winter break, I have worked with an incredibly dedicated Executive and General
committee to prepare an incredibly diverse term-card, which has something for everyone! We
are ringing in this new year with some brand new events, and new twists on our traditional
favourites!
Hilary is a unique term, with pupilage applications, assessment centres, vacation schemes and
Mods around the corner. We’ve worked hard to plan events that support our members with
exploring new practice areas, applications, and exams! We are also bringing back LawSoc
stash!
As a sneak peak, you can expect Mods Masterclasses from last year’s prize winners, the CULS
x OLS black tie dinner, a talk featuring an incredible former Supreme Court Lord Justice, the
new OLS Speed Mooting Tournament, a speed dating event with CaptiOx, Grad socials, Black
tie Diversity Drinks,and a presentation and networking event with 1KBW.
We are also very excited to continue our inter Oxford collaboration this term with- Oxford
Finance Society, OxfordSpeaks, Capitox, Oxford Uni Labour Club, Oxford Society for
Commercial Law and Oxford Women in Law Society.
Whether you’re a Law Student, Non Law student, Undergrad,Grad or a visiting student- we
welcome you with open arms!
Finally, a massive thank you to our Executive and General Committee who have worked
tirelessly to put together this termcard! And to our members, on behalf of our entire committee,
thank you and we hope to see you all soon!
Warm regards,
Agastya Rao
President
