Dear all,
Welcome to another one of our newsletters as we approach the end of term. Here is the news for the upcoming week of UCL Law Society events - have a great week!
Silk v Brief Launch Party
We are very pleased to announce that we will soon be having our annual Silk v Brief Launch Party! Join us on the 19th March for drinks, cake, food, and celebrations as we release the prints of this year's Silk v Brief editions.
There will be the awarding of prizes for the best articles, so make sure you turn up if you have contributed this year. The evening promises to be good fun and a nice way to finish the last Tuesday of term, and to celebrate everyone's amazing achievements. Even if you have not contributed to publications this year, you are still more than welcome to attend. You can sign up to attend here.
If you have any questions, please contact the Publications Officer at james.hall.21@ucl.ac.uk.
International Women’s Day Panel
We are proud to be hosting an insightful event where we can celebrate International Women's Day together. We will be joined by representatives from Sidley Austin and Cleary Gottlieb. All members of our community are welcome to learn and meet people.
The event will take place on Friday 8th March in the Gideon Schreier LT from 6:30pm. You can sign up to attend using the link here.

Advocacy Club: A Leading Barrister's Approach to Written and Oral Advocacy
We are delighted to be hosting an advocacy club session with Harriet Holmes, a property litigator at Wilberforce Chambers, who has appeared in front of the Privy Council, Supreme Court, and across jurisdictions, as well as being a former UCL student.
Harriet will be sharing her insights into the chancery/commercial Bar, and then running a workshop on written and oral advocacy, perfect for anyone hoping to improve their approach for mooting, interviews, or general applications.
The session will take place on Wednesday 13th March from 6:00-7:30pm in Bentham House. You can sign up here.
If you have any questions, please email saiba.ahuja.21@ucl.ac.uk, tze.chan.22@ucl.ac.uk, or ishaan.khosla.22@ucl.ac.uk.
