Auditor's Address
Haigh a chairde!
Freshers, welcome to Trinity and most importantly, welcome to the 90th session of LawSoc. I know Freshers Week can be a really daunting week, but I promise that it is the start of the four best years of your life.
LawSoc is proud to be one of the largest and most active societies on campus, and we hope that as we celebrate our 90th anniversary, we will leave you with a lasting impression. Ignore all the haters in the Hist, the Wall Street wannabes in the SMF, the PPES politicians in PolSoc and the ‘Mean Girls’ in Fashion Soc, LawSoc is a society like no other. Despite the name, we have students from all courses, and whether you’re on your way to the Supreme Court of call the Hamilton home, LawSoc has something for you!
Let us help you make the worst decisions of your college career in style. From a midnight Masquerave Ball in a secret castle, to Swing Ball in the Shelbourne, LawSoc has your social life covered. If competitions are more your vibe, get ready to become the next Harvey Spectre in Commercial Negotiations with a prize fund of one thousand euro! Or if shouting objection at an old man in a wig sounds like fun, sign up to our prestigious Mock Trial competition!
If that’s not good enough for you, take the word of Ellie Goulding, Brian Cox, Lady Chief Justice Sue Carr, and Johnny Sexton, who are all coming to LawSoc this year! Keep your eyes peeled for more big names to come. If you’re looking to become Ireland’s youngest managing partner, make sure to check our our Career Programme and Alumni Network. There are so many ways to get involved in LawSoc with our Access to Law initiative, Trinity Women in Law and Charities subcommittees all doing fantastic work!
For 90 years the Law Society has been at the forefront of promoting an interest in the law and justice. We strive to provide our members with the opportunity to engage in discourse, experience new phenomena and most importantly, socialise. We can’t wait to see you at all our fantastic Freshers’ events and beyond!
Enjoy every minute! And don’t forget to live, laugh, lawve.
