A new initiative for 2009 is the introduction of a series of health and well being seminars. These seminars are designed to combat the high incidence of depression amongst law students. A number of issues will be tackled including providing information for students on work-life balance and stress management.

Seminar Three: Principles of Happiness

With end of semester fast approaching, the Melbourne University Law
Students' Society is here to provide assistance and support during
this challenging time.

Presenting our third and final seminar in our Health and Wellbeing
series, this lunchtime workshop will identify key elements and
strategies that contribute to a happier, fulfilling and more
satisfying life.

Date: Wednesday 21st October
Time: 1pm - 2pm
Room: 224, Melbourne Law School

Presenter: Orania Tokatlidis, Counselling Service

Light lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Law Students’ Guidebook

The Law Students’ Guidebook contains information about every aspect of being a law student including subjects, support services and societies that represent you. The 2009 Law Students’ Guidebook combines information for both LLB and JD students.

Download

Law Students’ Guidebook 2010 (PDF, 8.4MB).

This file has been optimised for on-screen viewing. You might prefer a paper copy, since it is 126 pages long. Paper copies can be found on Level 2 of the Law School, or by knocking on the LSS office.

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.

BBQs

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

Living Book Scheme

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.
