Studying law is about more than lectures, seminars and assessments. At Nottingham Law School, you'll have opportunities to develop practical legal skills, expand your professional network, explore specialist interests and become part of a thriving student community.
Our student-led law societies play a vital role in the Nottingham Law School experience. Whether you're passionate about advocacy, interested in emerging areas of law, keen to celebrate cultural diversity, or looking to connect with fellow law students, there's a society for you.
Getting involved can help you build confidence, develop transferable skills and create friendships that last long after graduation. Many of our students say that joining a society was one of the most rewarding parts of their time at university.
Some of our societies include:
- The Mooters’ Guild
- The Space Law and Exploration Society
- The South Asian Law Society
- Nottingham Trent Law Society
