Why did you run for this position? I have always been inspired by students working together to get the most out of their university experience. Thus I believe one of the important things, amongst many others is to secure a good career or have an idea of where one is going career wise. with this in mind, I decided that I want to be part of the leadership team that can help organize and guide my class to ensure that everyone has a fair shot at succeeding and a great opportunity to have fun. I thought my passion and knowledge of the legal profession, would greatly assist me in this role and my contacts also help! Describe your role in the Law Society The role of the external affairs officer is to support the president in maintaining relationships with external bodies and forging new ones. Thus ,my role involves organising and facilitating events such as presentations and networking evenings and listening to students feedback and requests in order to improve our events . I also act as an ambassador for our society, expressing any concerns students may have directly to firms representatives Overall, I am here to assist all students that have a desire to pursue legal careers.

Favourite place to be: London Favourite song: Bring Me Down– Kanye West Probably something really cheesy like “I wanna dance with somebody!” anything that reminds me of my friends on nights out! Who / What inspires you? The relationships I have with my friends and family, and the thought that I can make them proud. Best memory of last year: Clifford Chance Presentation Worst memory would definitely be dislocating and breaking my knee the week before ski tour!! And then spending 3 months in a full leg plaster on crutches!! Best piece of advice for freshers: Make an effort to attend as many careers talks as possible as academic law and the practice of law differ. Furthermore law firms, may look similar on paper but there is a diverse range of career options that are unique to each employer so check them out.!Lastly, but arguably most importantly enjoy your first year, take advantage of the plethora of opportunities that Warwick presents, as time does fly! Any final words? C‘No [law] society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor [uninvolved] and miserable.’
