About Us

The University of Canterbury Law Students’ Society (LAWSOC) is the oldest and most predominant law society on campus. LAWSOC is committed to enhancing students journeys as they navigate the tough ropes of law school.

As LAWSOC continues to develop and grow each year, so does our team that makes all these opportunities possible. Behind the scenes, LAWSOC is run by a dedicated executive who work throughout the year to ensure these events and opportunities for students are delivered successfully. Our executive team consists of:

  • President
  • Vice President
  • Treasurer
  • Social Officers
  • Education and Welfare Officers
  • Competitions Officers
  • Obiter Editors
  • Second Year Representatives
  • Promotions Officers
  • Sports Officer
  • Law Show Producer

Ultimately, LAWSOC is built around its members and the community we create together. It exists to represent and support UC law students, and becoming a member is the best way to get involved and make the most of everything we have to offer.

To receive an array of event discounts, priority access to events and merch, it is worth getting a LAWSOC membership. Click here for more information.
