Student Activities

Student Government

All undergraduate students enrolled in the faculty of law are members of the Law Students' Society (LSS). The LSS represents students on academic issues such as curriculum reform and faculty hiring; organizes social events such as the annual boat cruise and bar societies; and also facilitates and funds student sport teams and clubs.

The LSS consists of three bodies: the Executive, the Academic Issues Caucus (AIC) and the Student Affairs Caucus (SAC).

We encourage all students to get involved.
