## Purpose

The Victoria University of Wellington Law Students’ Society (VUWLSS) is a representative group run solely by law students, solely for law students. VUWLSS has two major functions. The first is to advance and promote educational opportunities for law students at all levels. This is achieved in a number of ways. VUWLSS presents opportunities for students to hone their legal skills through competitions, lectures and study groups. The other very important function is to enhance the law school experience – making it more rewarding, dynamic and interesting for students. VUWLSS serves the interests of students outside of the classroom through sell-out social events, engaging speakers, and enviable opportunities for further learning and hands-on experience. As the most active representative group on campus, VUWLSS aims to enrich the experience of studying law at Victoria University of Wellington.
