PRESIDENTS’ WELCOME
Welcome back to Semester 2, 2014 – in particular all
of our new students who have started their law
degrees this semester. We look forward to seeing
everyone return to the UNSW Law Building!
We have been working very hard with our LawSoc
team over the mid-year break to ensure that we begin
semester 2 with a bang! If you haven’t already
purchased a ticket to our Annual Law Ball – be sure to
snatch one up soon, as it promises to be a night to
remember!
We’ve got a lot of great initiatives for semester 2,
from a variety of exciting events coming out of our
Activities Portfolio to a few new community
engagement projects and events arising from our
Social Justice Portfolio. We can guarantee there is a project, publication, initiative or event for every law
student to sign up to this semester! In particular, we strongly encourage our members to register their
attendance for the intervarsity Social Justice Conference which will be co-hosted by the UNSW Law
Society and the Sydney University Law Society; and be sure to get involved with our Publications this
semester and have your opinions and voice heard on our UNSW Law Society Blog – Poetic Justice.
If you’re a new JD student, be sure to sign up here for the Intermediate Mooting competition which is run
exclusively for JD students who were unable to compete in semester 1 and also be sure to sign up to
LawPlus Peer Mentoring by sending a brief expression of interest to the LawPlus coordinators at: [email protected].
These are all just some of the ways you can get involved this semester – but there are also many more
exciting projects and initiatives that will commence this semester, so stay tuned for them!
We wish everyone the very best for the upcoming semester. If you have any questions, or want to get
more involved with the UNSW Law Society, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
Best Wishes,
Marie Iskander & Benjamin Heenan
