Leeds Law School

New president for Leeds Law Society

Congratulations to second year LLB Law student, Jacob Zbos, the new President of Leeds Beckett Law Society. Jacob will take over from Godson Katoto, who we’d like to sincerely thank for all his efforts over the past year in growing the Society and making it what it is today.

We asked Jacob for a brief introduction to The Law Society and how students can get involved.

What is The Law Society?

The Law Society is a course-based society for anyone studying law or who has an interest in it. It’s run by law students, for law students, and was formed with a simple purpose: to get law students together to help each other, build relationships between different year groups, and to offer a place where like-minded people can socialise and learn from each other.

The Leeds Law Society now boasts a close community of over 120 members from all different year groups, and it’s constantly growing.

What can I enjoy as a member?

The Leeds Beckett Law Society committee is responsible for organising monthly, sometimes bi-monthly, events for members – one is usually a social involving food, drinks, games and quiz nights, and then the next will be educational. There might be a guest speaker from the legal community for example, or an organised group trip to court to witness a trial. There’s also an annual Law Ball – this year’s was in May at The Marriott Hotel.

Everything the Society does is aimed at furthering the knowledge, skills and experience of its members. And you’ll make long-lasting friendships!

I’m interested. Where do I sign up?

Visit www.leedsbeckettsu.co.uk/society/law/ or drop me an email at j.zbos2964@student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk. Once you become a member, you will be added to a WhatsApp group, where events info and Society news are posted regularly.
