A branch of the world's leading independent law association has been founded at Queen Mary after being voted in at the National Council Meeting of ELSA UK on the 17th of November, 2013 in Essex! We aim to bring ELSA's vision of respect for human dignity and cultural diversity at local level, as well as countless opportunities for our members to meet internationally like-minded people, overcome pre
judice and broaden their horizons in all respects! You'll be pleased to find out that we have already set in motion a number of events that will gradually reveal themselves to you, catering for all all your needs. For example, entering our local essay competition could lead to valuable work experience here in London or if you are more internationally oriented, we challenge you to take part in a mooting competition that might land you in Strasbourg, should your knowledge and skills secure victory! In addition, there are countless summer schools on various topics such as Dispute Resolution, Arbitration or Mergers and Acquisitions available in many European countries (there are 42 countries representing ELSA - think of the possibilities!) which all provide opportunities to work hard and play harder outside of London! Regular social events will keep you up to date with everything that's going on both at local and international level, otherwise just ask any of our Board members! We can't wait to get you into the ELSA spirit and we look forward to meeting you all!
