Law societies

Student Law Society

Over the past two years, a very active and vibrant Student Law Society has been established by Brighton law students, supported by the University's Student Union, with a membership of over 150 students. Educational events have included visits to Lewes Crown Court, Brighton magistrates court, the Houses of Parliament, and national law fairs. Social events have included: paintballing, go-karting, surfing, themed social nights, a Christmas Ball at the Brighton Hilton Metropole, and a trip with law students from other universities, to Amsterdam.

Student Mooting Society

The Mooting Society has a fast growing membership of over 120 students. The Society provides workshops, guest speakers, socials, trips and competitions to help build members' confidence and adversarial skills that are increasingly essential in any career path in the legal sector.

The objective of the mooting competitions is to develop the research and advocacy skills of future practitioners. Students argue both sides of a fictitious legal case in a court room setting in front of a panel of judges.
