I never saw any point in university law & bar societies. Waste of time.
However… Being on a committee helps when it comes to answering the ‘positions of responsibility’ questions on application forms. But that’s about it in my opinion.
Of course, but it will depend on if your soc is actually any good. Some of them are awful and do nothing. Ours has a plethora of activities that all enhance the cv - negotiation, mooting, CI etc. Plus good links with the local profession and work experience placements as prizes for the above comps. V efficient way to flesh out a cv early on in your degree.
Haha feel free to mock me, I am indeed - and I’m not even putting it on my cv or getting paid to do it. Must be just mere seconds before I get called a try hard.
My election manifesto was that I wouldn’t do so - the other guys running were clearly doing it for the wrong reasons, and that was one of the promises I made in order to win. I always keep my promises.
