The Law Students’ Society (LSS) is a vital forum for discussion. Its representatives sit on various committees, such as Faculty Board, setting policy and rendering decisions that have a significant impact on the life student's here in Ludlow.
The LSS also supports a wide range of student clubs, social functions and athletic activities to provide the student body with rewarding opportunities for student involvement.
All UNB Law students are members of the LSS. Each year (1L, 2L, and 3L) is represented on the LSS Council which is overseen by the LSS executive. The LSS executive consist of four members, the President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and First Year Representative.
LSS Council meet on a monthly basis and discuss important issues affecting the law school. Every member of the LSS (any UNB law student) are welcome to attend.
Meetings are chaired by the Chairperson, whose work allows meetings to proceed smoothly and the 1L Representative ensures that the important decisions that are reached by council are recorded for current and future law students.
The LSS collects $60.00 from each student as a "Law Student Society Fee" at the beginning of each year. This fee goes towards all clubs and society funding. The Law Student Society then allocates this amount to each society that has requested specific event funding. For example, we plan to hold a small International Law Conference at UNB each year, and some of the funds we have collected is allocated to our International Law Society to help subsidize this event.
