Full details on the event are below:

Law Students’ Council, Graduate Law Society and Edinburgh Law School invite you to a semester 1 check-in event, being held on Thursday 05 November from 2-3pm digitally through Collaborate. We want to find out more about what’s been going well for you, and what could be improved.

Please join our student representatives along with Olivia Hayes (UG Office) , and Lindsay Jack (Director of Student Experience) for this informal check-in to see how your semester is going so far. We will also be joined by the Dean of the Law School, Professor Martin Hogg.

What is this session for?

  • We are interested in finding out more about what’s been going well for you, and what could be improved.
  • We encourage you to consider general points or themes you’d like to raise, we will not be able to answer queries which are personal in nature and instead we’d encourage you to email the Undergraduate Office or your Personal Tutor
  • We are not looking for course-specific questions or feedback and instead encourage you to direct these to your Year Representative or Class Liaison. You will also have another opportunity to submit course-specific feedback towards the end of the semester.
  • Unfortunately we will be unable to answer questions on fees, finance or accommodation. Please contact EdHelp if you need any assistance with these matters.

The format will be as follows:

  • Submit any questions or feedback ahead of the event to your representatives above by emailing Law Students’ Council lsc@ed.ac.uk or Graduate Law Society graduatelawsocietyuoe@outlook.com  or anonymously here www.slido.com event code #89504;
  • If you can, attend the digital session on 05 November where questions and queries will be answered and addressed;
  • You can also ask questions on the day, either anonymously through Slido, in the chat function in Collaborate or by raising your hand and asking.
  • We will spend the first half of the session addressing previously submitted questions, and turn to your live questions for the latter half of the session. We will do our best to answer your queries during the live session, though may not be able to answer all of these. We will post a summary of points raised, the responses to these points as well as a response to unanswered queries on Law UG Community following the live session.

Aside from any questions, we would like to hear your thoughts around one thing that’s been going well for you this semester, and one thing which could be improved. We hope to see you at the event on 05 November!

2020-21: Law Football Trials

Are you currently studying law and interested in playing football at a high level?

Then why not come trial for the Law football team?

We can confirm that the Men’s Football Team Trials have been rescheduled to Monday 26th October, 2-4pm at Peffermill on pitch 3G2. This is of course subject to sport-related covid restrictions being extended beyond the current period

All ages are welcome! Should you be a first year, fourth year, or on your masters/P.H.D.

Please don’t be shy and come along.

We are a long established team currently in a BUCS (British university and colleges sport) league playing competitively against other universities across Scotland. This semester we will also be playing in Edinburgh’s intramural league setup.

Games will be played on a Wednesday afternoon at Peffermill (if scheduled to play at home). If scheduled to play away then fixtures will also be on a Wednesday but often slightly later so as to allow us extra time for travelling to other universities.

All fixtures will be played out-with your timetable to avoid clashing with academic commitments.

Not only do we provide ample opportunity to play football, but also an opportunity for socialising with other people on your course. Should it be attending the Law Ball together or just heading out for a few drinks to watch the football we consider ourselves an open and accommodating group of friends which we would be more than happy for you to join.

Joining the team may also help you with your studies, as mentioned our players range from second year to P.H.D, meaning someone in our squad will have undertook and experienced the courses you are currently sitting. I can personally say for myself that being part of this team has allowed me to better understand my course and university processes..

If you plan on attending or have any queries/questions please contact either of the Captains through the below information. For track and trace purposes you must contact either of our captains with your contact details and to let us know you will be attending. If you arrive having not contacted us in advance we may have to turn you away.
