DURHAM LAW SOCIETY

EST 1833

From The President

The Durham Law Society is Durham's joint oldest and largest society. With an annual revenue nearing £100,000 we operate like a tiny company with a single, clear aim: to get Durham students jobs in law. We achieve this through various initiatives, primarily by creating opportunities for students to connect face-to-face with top law firms from across the world.

 

This is made possible through the support of our incredibly generous sponsors, all of whom are listed on this website. It’s rare for students to secure training contracts without any prior interaction with a firm through the Law Society, let alone for someone to land a top role without being a member. This Society serves as a platform to bring the very best of the UK legal sector to Durham, right into the hands of our members.

 

Seize the opportunity.
