Student Life
Students at Warwick enjoy a vibrant and interesting life where they may involve themselves in the student societies offered by the student union, enjoy large social events and engage in organisations specifically run by law students for law students.
Law student organisations.
Warwick law society engages in many different law related activites designed to help its members experience the law from many different perspectives
This includes its pro bono work...
"Pro Bono at Warwick serves the dual purpose of giving volunteers the opportunity to understand how the legal system works in practice as well as make a substantial and long-lasting contribution to society. We co-ordinate and promote fifteen pro bono activities which gives our members the opportunity of working at a variety of institutions on a large array of issues. This can range from working as a case worker for an important asylum hearing to encouraging school students to put forward their views on contemporary issues to campaigning for penal reform. Not only do participants get to engage with important legal issues but they also get to find an outlet for their creative energies. It is for this reason we were able to attract over 400 volunteers last year!"
The coordinators of Pro Bono, Lucy Newton and Morshed Mannan, are contactable on pro_bono@warwicklawsociety.com
And its magazine obiter dicta
*Obiter Dicta* is a Magazine produced by Warwick Law Society, with two editions in the Autumn and Spring terms
Your Editors for this academic year are Sarah Lainchbury & Ruhell Amin
"In the next year, we will not only be establishing a Sub-Committee (application details to follow), but we will be inviting your assistance in respect of innovative and dynamic themes to put in place, and will be expanding the horizons of OD in introducing creative writing entries, work placement diaries, and liaising with Warwick Banking and Finance Society to aid the budding Commercial Lawyers, and selected Chambers to assist those considering applying to the Bar.
While the thematic ideas will remain concealed until the new term, please begin to consider whether you think you would be willing to contribute to the Magazine, either by random article submitting, or application to the Sub-Committee.
OD demands a creative flair from its writers, a passion for writing and a dynamic outlook in all aspects of Law and the legal career at large. The best of the submitted articles will then appear in the printed Magazine; copies of which are made available for free, disseminated in lectures, and available from the Law School Undergraduate Common Room."
Students have recently launched their own journal The Warwick Student Law Review . The Warwick Student Law Review seeks to publish the very best of legal scholarship written by students at Warwick and other leading law schools.
Administered entirely by members of the student body of the university, the journal seeks to contribute to the research culture of the law school and, in publishing the exceptional work of students reading law at Warwick, to improve their educational experience. The journal will be available both within the UK and internationally.
The review does not restrict itself to a specialized body of law but seeks contributions from all branches, especially those that focus on issues that involve British and International Legal perspectives.
WSLR aims:
- To provide a forum for Warwick law students to publish excellent academic work.
- To contribute to the development of the research culture within the law school, especially by seeking involvement from undergraduates as well postgraduates.
WSLR Editors in Chief: Ranamit Banerjee and Morshed Mannan
