The UCD Law Society is the largest student society in UCD, and is one of the oldest and most pre-eminent societies in Ireland. It is now in its 114th Session.
The Law Society strives to promote open discourse and discussion on a wide range of issues at their weekly Tuesday evening House Debates, competitive debating, mooting, and mock trials. Students of both legal and non-legal backgrounds are encouraged to attend and participate.
This goal is furthered by inviting prominent figures to address the society. Notable past speakers include Presidents Michael D. Higgins, Mary McAleese, and Mary Robinson, European Council President Donald Tusk, Suits actor Patrick J. Adams, Dermot Kennedy, Sir Christopher Lee and Seamus Heaney.
UCD Law Society is one of the most visible and far reaching student entities on campus – also among the largest memberships of a student society in Europe.
The society’s motto is “Ar son na córa” (in the pursuit of justice)
