CO-PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS

Erica naylor and reena kaur


Welcome to the Leicester University Law Society! 

Our names are Erica Naylor and Reena Kaur. We are your Co-Presidents for the 2023-2024 academic year. It is our goal to maximise the opportunities available to you during your degree to help you achieve your aspirations and enhance your experience at university.

Having competed in many competitions, attended various events and socials hosted by the Leicester University Law Society in our first year, we were inspired to run for a committee position for our second year. Reena was elected to the role of Publicity Officer and Erica was appointed the role of Director of Mooting. We both thoroughly enjoyed our roles and accomplished a great deal during our year on the committee.  This motivated us to run for the positions of co-presidents. Having both been members and committee for LULS, we both had a clear vision for the Leicester University Law Society 2023/2024. 

The Leicester University Law Society is the second largest student law society in the UK and one of the biggest on campus! We provide empowering opportunities for over 500 members. These opportunities occur in four categories: skills, competitions, careers and socials and are all organised by our incredible committee. 

As a member of LULS, you can sign up for many of our competitions including negotiation, client interviewing and debating. For those of you who are interested in advocacy why not try mooting, arbitration or mock trials! For our senior mooting competition 2023, LULS had the privilege of hosting the finals in the Supreme Court! 

We understand that commercial acumen is a desirable trait, often even essential, for many employers which is why each year, we run a commercial awareness programme. We also host many workshops and career events for our members. If you are not interested in pursing law as a career, we have an alternative careers representative that hosts events which allow you to explore other career options.

Whilst we are a professional society, we also organise many social events throughout the year. Every year we host a meet and greet, extravagant Law Ball and our Bar Crawl. We also arrange fun networking events. Recently, we organised a dinner at Haute Dolci for our members to network with Leicester alumni who now work at Hogan Lovells. LULS also have their own sports teams! You can play netball, football or dodgeball for the Law Society competitively. 

Throughout the academic year, we try to support our members. For our recent law ball, a reimbursement scheme was created. Additionally, we have Welfare Wednesdays organised by our well being officer. To support our members who are from a variety of different countries, our international representative organises events to ensure they feel welcomed at Leicester. 

We hope to continue to provide empowering opportunities for our members this year!
