Law Students’ Society
Who we are
The Melbourne University Law Students’ Society (LSS) is the official representative body of students at Melbourne Law School. Established in 1887, the LSS has a long history of advocating for students and fostering a connected and supportive law school community.
Representation sits at the heart of what we do. The LSS represents students across the breadth of our community, including through our Queer, Ethnocultural, International, Indigenous and Disability portfolios, as well as our broader advocacy and welfare work. We strive to ensure that students from all backgrounds have a voice within the Law School and access to the support and opportunities they need.
We also believe that law school is about more than studying. Throughout the year, we run a wide range of social, academic, career and professional development events, creating opportunities for students to meet each other, explore the profession and enjoy their time at law school.
Above all, we are a student society made up of students. Whether you need someone to advocate for you, help you navigate an issue, connect you with an opportunity, or simply be a friendly face around the Law School, the LSS is here to support you.
