Proposal for a Criminal Law Society at the University of Leicester

Submitted 3 weeks ago by Alysha Birdi

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to propose the establishment of a Criminal Law Society at the University of Leicester and seek your support in bringing this initiative to life. Overview: The Criminal Law Society aims to provide students with a dedicated platform to explore, discuss, and engage with key issues in criminal law. This society would foster academic and professional development by facilitating discussions, networking opportunities, and practical insights into the field. Objectives: Educational Engagement: Organize guest lectures, panel discussions, and workshops with criminal law professionals, including solicitors, barristers, and academics. Career Development: Provide students with access to internship opportunities, career panels, and mentorship from practicing criminal lawyers. Mooting and Debates: Host criminal law-focused mooting competitions and debates to develop advocacy and analytical skills. Awareness and Advocacy: Explore key topics such as wrongful convictions, criminal justice reform, and human rights implications in criminal law. Networking Opportunities: Connect students with professionals in the legal field through networking events and firm visits. Why It’s Needed: Criminal law is a fundamental area of legal study and practice, yet there is currently no dedicated society at our university for students passionate about this field. Establishing this society would give students an opportunity to enhance their understanding, gain practical exposure, and connect with like-minded peers and professionals. Next Steps: I would love the opportunity to discuss this proposal further and explore how we can move forward with setting up the society. Please let me know if we could schedule a meeting or if there are any formal steps required to initiate this process. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your feedback and the possibility of making the Criminal Law Society a reality at the University of Leicester. Best regards, Alysha Birdi First-Year JD Student University of Leicester
