WELCOME NEW STUDENTS

Today 9th September 2015 is freshers fair in the main hall at Joseph Chamberlain Sixth Form College and you can see the Legal Society stand.


We have secured our place in the Bar Mock Trial Competition for the Birmingham heat on 21st November 2015. We are looking for four barristers to lead the advocacy as well as witnesses, a clerk, an usher as well as people to fill the solicitor role who will do the legal research. There are two brand new cases for this year with some interesting points of law, some of which you won't study anywhere else.


Legal society is now meeting weekly on a Monday at 4.15 to 5 in 2CN17 and we'd love to see you there so sign up today and come along.
