LSS President’s Welcome

PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

Hello, and welcome to ANU Law!

On behalf of the ANU Law Students’ Society (LSS), I would like to extend a warm congratulations to you for being accepted into the ANU Law School. Choosing to study at the ANU was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I sincerely hope that your experience here leaves you feeling the same way. The LSS has prepared this First Year Guide with a view to helping you feel a little more prepared and confident as you approach the beginning of your studies. It outlines some of the many ways to get involved at ANU Law, as well as providing an overview of the resources available to you during your time here. The Guide also shows a little of what it is that the LSS does, and the ways in which we can support and enrich your experience at law school. The LSS is the largest and most active society at ANU. Our initiatives are many and varied, including everything from careers workshops and legal competitions to social events and academic mentoring. In essence, though, we exist to represent the voices of ANU law students- so if there is ever anything you are concerned about or would like to discuss, we are always happy to chat!

As part of your preparations for beginning at law school, I really do encourage you to become an LSS member. Our members receive a variety of perks, such as discounts across different Canberra businesses, and are the first to hear about our upcoming events and initiatives. In my experience, those events can be incredibly valuable, particularly in first year- they help you to meet other law students, and to engage with the legal discipline more broadly. Our Facebook page is the best resource for keeping up to date with what’s on, so definitely give that a like! I wish you the very best for 2021, and for all of your studies in the future. These years of your life present an incredible opportunity, and while they will undoubtedly bring challenges and require a lot of hard work, I sincerely hope that you will also find them exciting and incredibly rewarding. I look forward to meeting you at our events this year, and to seeing what the newest cohort of law students will bring to ANU! EMMA CAMPBELL President
