Eight societies inside one
Each division runs its own programme and its own committee. One membership gets you into all eight, and most members move between them rather than picking one.
Solicitors Network
Careers · commercial practiceThe largest of our divisions and the busiest. It runs the full recruitment cycle with our partner firms — open evenings, practice-area sessions, application clinics and assessment-centre practice — timed around vacation scheme and training contract deadlines rather than around the academic calendar.
Get involved →Bar and Chambers
Advocacy · the barFor anyone considering the bar, or simply curious what barristers actually do. The division runs advocacy training, chambers visits and pupillage guidance, and it is deliberately honest about the odds — pupillage is competitive, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.
Get involved →LSE Law Review
Scholarship · publishingOur student-edited journal, publishing undergraduate and postgraduate scholarship. Editors are recruited each volume and receive training in peer review and citation. Contributors get a genuine publication and, more usefully, genuine editorial feedback.
Get involved →Pro Bono
Service · legal adviceVolunteering placements with legal advice clinics across London. Training is provided and no prior experience is expected. It is the division that most reliably changes people’s minds about what they want to do with a law degree.
Get involved →Lawyers Without Borders
Human rights · rule of lawThe LSE student division of Lawyers Without Borders. Members work on rule-of-law and human rights research projects, often contributing to live international work rather than to a seminar exercise.
Get involved →LSE's On The Case
Media · the podcastOur podcast. Practitioner interviews and student-hosted case discussion, produced entirely in-house. It is also the easiest division to join with no legal background at all — we need producers, editors and researchers as much as hosts.
Get involved →Alternative Careers
Beyond private practiceNot everyone who studies law wants to practise it, and fewer still want to practise it for forty years. This division is for members considering in-house roles, policy work, regulation, academia, consultancy — or leaving law altogether. Sessions are run by people who actually took those routes rather than people speculating about them.
Get involved →Non-Law Into Law
Conversion & accessA substantial share of our members study something other than law. This division is for them: how conversion works, what the SQE asks of non-law graduates, which firms actively recruit outside law, and how to build a credible application when your degree is in economics, government or anthropology.
