Dear all,
As January comes to an end, here is the latest set of updates from us at UCL Law Society. We hope you all have a lovely week!
Silk v Brief Submissions
We are pleased to announce that submissions are now open for the Spring edition of Silk v Brief, the UCL Law Society’s flagship publication! Getting your work published here is a fantastic opportunity to get engaged with Law Society publications by talking about legal issues you are passionate about. The Winter Edition was the most contributed-to in Law Society’s history, and it would be wonderful if we could carry on that trend!
As well as articles, submissions are open for creative media, too. If you are an artist, photographer, writer, or poet, we would love to showcase your work in Silk v Brief as well, so please send in your submissions.
Previous editions can be found here.
For more details about exactly what a submission involves, as well as to actually submit your piece, please visit the link here.
While the deadline for submissions is far away, it will pass quickly, so if this is something that interests you please do have a think about it. If you have any questions, please do get in touch with the Publications Officer at james.hall.21@ucl.ac.uk.
Deadline: 11:59pm, Monday 19th February
Commercial Awareness Competition Reminder
A reminder that sign-ups are open for one of UCL Law Society’s flagship competitions - the Commercial Awareness Competition! UCL Law Society won LCN Best Society for Commercial Awareness in 2023, so this competition promises to be a really exciting and excellent experience for all our entrants.
This is a great opportunity for any aspiring lawyer to test and develop commercial awareness in preparation for assessment centres. Through different rounds, you will work through varying formats of assessment centre exercises, developing your knowledge on key commercial topics. This is therefore not only a great way to test your knowledge, but also your application of it.
All rounds will take place in person on campus, and competitors must attend a short introductory event on Tuesday 30th January from 6:00-7:00pm.
All levels of experience are welcome - to sign up to take part in this brilliant experience, fill in the very quick form here.
If you have any questions, please contact our Vocations Officer at matthian.tan.22@ucl.ac.uk.
Deadline: 11:59pm, Monday 29th January
