York Law Society Revenue and Competitors

On behalf of the Committee for 2018/19, I'm extremely pleased to welcome you to the York Law Society! We are one of the largest and most active societies on campus, and are nationally recognised, having won LawCareers.net's award for “Best Law Society for Non-Law Students” in 2017 and 2018. This Society has two jobs. The first is to help you understand life in the legal sector. The second is to help you achieve your ambitions within it. This year will see an exciting range of social events. The Law Society traditionally runs several parties through the year alongside our famous Careers Dinner, attended by sixteen firms and three chambers. We are also running several new events. These include a summer Cruise on the Ouse, an international trip, visits to London and other Northern cities, a Spring Term Ball and, finally, a Sports Tournament with other Law Societies and firms through our very active sports teams. We are proudly associated with the world's most successful and innovative law firms, on both a regional and international scale. We also have strong links with prestigious chambers in London and on the Northern Circuit. Membership enables you to benefit from the close work we do with our network, by learning, first-hand, about life in the legal sector through presentations, workshops, and office visits. Members also benefit from the YLS Application Acceleration Program. This is delivered by professionals and successful students and is designed to turn you from a student into a future solicitor or barrister.
