Description
Who Are We?
The University of Bristol Criminal Justice Society was established in 2021. Our society aims to help facilitate our member's interests and connections for a career within the criminal justice system. With a holistic approach to criminal justice, we help cater for both law and non-law students.
Whilst helping our members develop connections with the profession, we actively encourage a critical examination and discussion of the justice system from a range of perspectives and disciplines.
Getting Involved:
We host a range of events across the many branches of the criminal justice system. Our events consist of talks and panel events, social coffee mornings and pub crawls as well as a range of criminal-specialist advocacy and public speaking opportunities.
Our events are a perfect way to enhance your CV, develop connections within the profession and meet like-minded people!
Keep an eye out on our Instagram and sign up for our newsletter for all our upcoming events and opportunities this year.
Membership
Our membership fee is split into £5 for a full year and £3 for half a year.
