The ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ Law Society provides a variety of events throughout the year to help Law students make the most of their experience at ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥.
Now in its twelfth year, the ball is widely considered to be the highlight of the ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ Student Law Society’s busy calendar of events, which also encourages participation in more vocational activities throughout the year and creates a supportive atmosphere between different year groups on the various Law programmes.
The Ball, which took place before Christmas at the Royal Bath Hotel, began with a drinks reception, followed by a formal dinner with festive menu, accompanied by celebratory crackers and party poppers. Law students also enjoyed a flower wall provided for commemorative photography and a photo booth.
Two guest speakers also shared their advice and experiences. President of Bournemouth and District Law Society Edward Holmes, a Solicitor with Forest Edge & Meesons, offered insightful reflections on experiences from his legal career, encouraging and inspiring students preparing to embark on their professional journeys.
Graham Beards, Financial Director at ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥, imparted advice on the many opportunities offered to those studying Law at Bournemouth.
Guests spent the rest of the evening celebrating, socialising and dancing.Â
Law Society President Skye Partridge said: “The Christmas Law Ball is a chance to kick up our heels at the end of a very active year for the ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ Student Law Society. Our calendar includes a Mooting programme and networking events, as well as trips to the Old Bailey, the Houses of Parliament and the courts at Lincoln Inn Fields.Â
"The ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ Student Law Society aims to create a supportive Law community at ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ and helps our students practice valuable skills needed for legal careers; getting together for an annual festive celebration cements this community.â€Â
