EVENTS


The Events and Activities Officers plan a number of exciting events over the year for everyone to enjoy.

The prestigious Cheese and Wine networking event occurs every year, exclusive to UPLS members. If this seems daunting to you, do not worry, a Mini Masterclass is also organised for you to get in some practice! The event is a great opportunity for all years to speak with a variety of professionals , make new connections, gain insight into the legal field and possibly secure some work experience. As the event is professional, business attire must be worn by those attending, especially if you want to make a good (first) impression. If you are looking to get your name out there, this one is not to be missed! Once announced, make sure to grab your ticket as soon as possible, they are limited and go quickly!

This year we held our Annual Cheese And Wine Networking Event at The Box. This event was organised by our Events Officers Jasmine Tottel-Clarke and Gracie Coleman. The long anticipated event was a great success, and allowed Legal professionals to network and get to know our members.

“It was a great pleasure attending this year’s Cheese and Wine event hosted by the Law Society of the University of Plymouth. The legal practitioners were very impressed with the calibre of students from the University and gave the opportunity for us to consider potential applicants for trainee contracts on an informal basis. We were inundated with questions regarding life as a lawyer and what our firms can offer the students which I hope has helped develop a pathway for some exciting new legal careers.”
James Walsh- President of Plymouth Law Society and Partner of GA Solicitors

"The Cheese and Wine Networking Evening is my favourite annual event for two key reasons: firstly, it’s a great opportunity to chat with likeminded folk about legal work in the city, and its lovely to see both students and professionals connecting over a glass (or two!) of wine. Secondly, networking is a key skill used in not just the legal sector but in all walks of professional life, so it is a fabulous atmosphere to hone your communication skills. AND there’s nibbles too! What’s not to like?!
A lot of people find the idea of networking to be rather intimidating, particularly around those who have established careers if you are just starting out. This should be seen as an advantage however, as you can learn so much from those individuals and the Cheese and Wine Networking evening does this in such a friendly and inclusive atmosphere."
Charlotte Paul- University of Plymouth Careers Advisor for Law


​At the end of the academic year, the annual, award winning Law Ball is held. This evening consists of awards, raffles, good food, drink, entertainment and lots of fun! Every year it has been one to remember. There really is no better way to finish off the year with your friends and fellow members!
