The University of Queensland Law Society Incorporated ('UQLS') is a student society that has become an integral part of the Law School at The University of Queensland. Founded by former Chief Justice of Australia Sir Harry Gibbs in 1937, we have a long and proud history of fulfilling the academic and extra-curricular needs of law students and the broader UQ community.
The UQLS is distinguished by the broad range of activities it offers, with the purpose of providing our students with the opportunity to gain valuable extra-curricular experience which compliments and extends their legal degrees, as well as creating networks that carry through to careers in the legal profession and beyond. These services and events are planned and executed by our Management Committee and Executive, of which there are 40 volunteers. In order to serve our near 4,000 active annual members, the UQLS operates across ten portfolios: Education; Diversity & Wellbeing; Internal Competitions; External Competitions; Socials; L Card®; Sponsorship; Careers; Sport; and Design & Communications.
With such a large presence on campus, the UQLS has become a significant source of opportunity, learning and support for students across all stages of their law degree.
