Good
news! For the first time ever, LawSoc is starting a choir. The choir will
rehearse every week on Thursdays from 1 to 2pm at uni and will be
performing at future events. People of any singing ability are welcome.
All you need is enthusiasm, a good ear and some cool ideas about what
you'd like to see us sing!
For
more information and to sign up, contact Seph (LawSoc's Music
Director) at .
LawSoc
Band
If
you play an instrument, any instrument, LawSoc Band needs you. Please contact
Seph (LawSoc's Music Director) at to
express your interest and include details of what instrument(s) you play and
for how long you've been playing. There will be auditions at the start of
Semester 1 and weekly rehearsals following that. So, if you ever wanted
groupies, this is your chance. Get on the mailing list to avoid missing out!
We hope you're all enjoying a well-earned break from your studies! As the year winds to a close, the Law Society is coming at you with a couple of publications which we hope will make your life a little easier.
Announcement: Selection Panels v008 09-11-23 published
The Competitions (External) division of the Education Portfolio has drafted a new External Selections Policy that will be used for all External Competitions. The objective of the policy is to bring transparency, consistency, and impartiality to the selection process. To that end, the policy makes provisions for a selection panel which will include selectors who are responsible for the External division (clause 2.1), selectors who have expertise in competitions (clauses 2.2 - 2.4), and selectors who will bring impartiality to the selection panel (clauses 2.5 - 2.7). Selectors may be removed if there is a potential conflict of interest (clause 2.9), there is a clear selection criteria which will be made available to all applicants (clause 4), and an appeals process (clause 3.4).
This portfolio is about providing law students with benefits and services so every student can be proud about being a member of the UNSW Law Society. As a fairly new portfolio, there is plenty of room for innovation and creativity. Taking a leadership position in this portfolio will be challenging, but it’ll be exciting and rewarding because you can really make a difference!
The portfolio will be run by a mix of directors and coordinators. The application form and a guideline of what each role entails can downloaded below.
Director applications are due at 6pm 16th October 2009 (Week 12 Friday) and coordinator applications are due at 6pm 21st October 2009 (Week 13 Wednesday).
Everyone is welcome to apply, regardless of year, experience or previous involvement within UNSW Law Society. And if you are unable to commit to a director or coordinator role, then I encourage you to become a committee member. There is no selection process! Just send me an email telling me:
1) Which Services team/s you want to contribute to.
2) Why you would like to get involved with the Services Portfolio.
