Purely Dicta
Purely Dicta is a magazine written for law students by law students. It's that simple.
As editors, we intend to make this year's editions stylish, clear and content-driven. Have you ever wondered what IKEA would look like if it were a magazine? That's our vision of Purely Dicta, less the flat-pack furniture, funny Swedish naming conventions and cheap meatballs.
That said, we need YOUR submissions to bring our flat-pack magazine baby to life. We're looking for articles, comics, reviews, opinion pieces, even allen keys.

Throughout the year if you see a large crowd and hear some kickass music pumping from the University Square lawns, then you’ll know the LSS is hosting a BBQ. Free food (sausages, meat and vege burgers), free drinks (beer, pre-mixed spirits and soft drinks), good music and your hanging with your fellow law students on a sunny afternoon

The Living Book Scheme provides free legal textbooks and printed materials to law students facing financial difficulty. Under the scheme students can borrow the latest editions of their prescribed reading for the duration of the semester and are provided with the relevant printed course materials free of charge.
The Living Book Scheme relies on the goodwill of its recipients. This means that we rely on students to return the books at the end of each semester in excellent condition, without permanent markings or damage to the books. Printed course materials need not be returned.
Applications are assessed independently from the LSS by the university department of Student Financial Services. All students facing financial difficulty are encouraged to apply - please follow the instructions contained in the application form carefully.
