The Eldon Society (Student Law Society)
The Eldon Society is Newcastle University's student law society and is named after Lord Eldon, a famous 19th century Lord Chancellor and son of Newcastle.
The Society plays a key role in the life of the Law School. The President is automatically the Chair of our Staff/Student Committee and is a member of our Board of Studies. The Committee of the Society organises student representation in the Law School.
The Society organises many social events including an Annual Law Ball and the Graduation Ball, both prestigious events. it also organises Mooting and Client Interviewing. The Eldon Society has sports teams currently in football, hockey and netball. The football team, "Barca Law-na", has recently enjoyed triumphal seasons in the University League. The Society joins the Law School and the Careers Service in helping at the Annual Law Fair, a law recruiting event held annually and attended by 65 law firms and professional trainers all of whom are keen to recruit our students. Finally, the Society publishes the annual Law School magazine, 'All Rise!'.
The December 2008 teaching audit report confirmed the key positive level of engagement by our students in these activities.
