Imagine a space where your passion for justice transforms into purpose. The University of Greenwich Bar Society is more than a community - it is a movement for aspiring barristers and advocates eager to shape the future of law. Here, we believe that advocacy is not just about skills, but about embodying the pursuit of truth, fairness, and influence.
Our mission is to bring up your potential by providing the knowledge, experience, and insights necessary to forge a meaningful career in law. Through thought-provoking debates, immersive workshops, mock trials, and inspiring guest speakers, we delve beyond textbooks to explore the essence of advocacy, the complexities of legal practice, and the realities of life at the bar.
We also officially re-launched Law School Journal 'Sui Generis' in 24/25, both printed and online versions, which is a must-read for anyone who wants to know more about Law & Criminology school and university life. Journal is an incubator for ideas and voices shaping the future of the Law & Criminology school at Greenwich. In 25/26, there is going to be a second edition. For those interested in contributing, get in touch with Dr Louise Hewitt.
By becoming part of our society, you’re not just gaining skills, you’re cultivating a mindset rooted in integrity, resilience, and purpose. You’ll connect with legal pioneers, develop vital advocacy abilities, and gain firsthand experience that sets you apart in a competitive world.
If you believe in the power of law to transform society, seize this opportunity. Join the University of Greenwich Bar Society today - where your journey from passion to profession begins, guided by wisdom, purpose, and a relentless pursuit of justice.
Your legal journey starts here - be the advocate the world needs.
