Description
Founded in 2017, the University of Bristol Women in Law Society provides a platform for all women in the legal profession, both as citizens and members of the legal profession. As a female-led society associated with the University of Bristol Law School, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and empowering community, united by a shared commitment to promoting women in law.
As we progress through the 2024/25 academic year, we are delighted to welcome new members onboard! So far, we have hosted an array of events, including coffee socials, panel events (such as an exclusive insight into Charles Russell Speechlys and their gender inclusivity initiatives), and an intermural negotiation competition sponsored by Womble Bond Dickinson. We remain dedicated to providing our members with a calendar full of exciting opportunities.
Beyond social events like coffee meetups, game nights and karaoke nights, Women in Law also provides our members with the core skills and information required to succeed in their chosen legal fields. From Family Law, Commercial Law, private in-house practice, or alternative legal careers, we'll be offering extensive career-orientated events for members to explore their passions:
-
Masterclasses
-
Application workshops
-
Exclusive career insights and firm panel events
Additionally, our family scheme connects members across different stages of their legal journey, offering mentorship and guidance.
Our Community
We are proud to be a Bronze-accredited society by the Bristol Student Union and remain committed to creating a supportive, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all.

Membership is not limited to female law students and compromises of a variety of degree subjects and genders, all united by a shared interes in championing women in law.
