Are you an undergraduate student returning back for your next year of studies with us? Come and join us in the Law Student Hub on Monday 6 October from 1-2pm for our Warwick Law School Welcome Back Lunch.

Come and learn about Warwick Law in the Community's (LinC) volunteer opportunities, including the Strategic Social Justice Clinic, the Immigration and Asylum Clinic and our brand new Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Clinic. We'll hear from community partners, outline each opportunity and what's expected, review the eligibility criteria and give tips to strengthen your application.

Join the Student Experience team for a relaxed drop-in session. Grab a cuppa, have a chat, and let us know how you're settling in or settling back in this term. Whether you have questions, feedback, or just want to say hello, you're very welcome to stop by.

We know many of you had further questions following the course induction so we've organised an extra session to give you an opportunity to ask them (and get the answers you need to settle in). Maggie will be available to help with any queries about your course or department procedures in general.

Curious about life as a law student or a future lawyer?

Come along to our EDI Panel for an afternoon of open conversations, insights, and, of course, pizza!

In this session, we will be covering what makes a high-grade law assignment, as well as some technical and logistical tips. After looking at the grade boundaries (e.g. the differences between marks of 65, 68 and 74) and applying them to a past essay, we will briefly set out some specific guidance for essays and problem questions. We will also talk about how attendance impacts attainment of grades.

The theme is tax – and, specifically, why it’s one of the most interesting practice areas out there. Making the case for tax will be a panel of Pinsent Masons lawyers led by legal director Penny Simmons. With tax very much in the news at the moment, amid a focus on how Western governments will fund their growing debt without recourse to spending cuts, there is much to talk about.

After short talks and a panel discussion there will be virtual networking with the speakers, Pinsent Masons trainees and members of the firm’s early talent team.

The Criminal Justice Centre and the Centre for Critical Legal Studies at Warwick Law School invite you to the book launch of Alan Norrie’s Rethinking Criminal Justice: Punishment, Abolition and Moral Psychology.

Title: (Work-In-Progress)

This event will start with lunch at 12:30pm in Room S2.09, followed by the Seminar from 1:00pm to 2:00pm in Room S2.12.

The exhibition, titled “Timing Out: Creative reflections on Prison Life” will showcase visual artworks, poetry, and music created by men serving long sentences, who are incarcerated at a maximum-security prison in England. The exhibition is part of Resonate Festival and its theme considers what it means to ‘do time’ and to move through major stages of life - youth, adulthood, and old age- while in custody. It also explores how incarceration impacts one’s sense of self, and their perception of time, space, belonging and justice. The exhibiting artists used a creative range of restricted materials and worked closely with the team of arts education staff at the prison and us, a group of Warwick academics from Sociology and Law who have been teaching at the prison since 2024. Their artworks offer a politically- attuned critique of questions of justice and injustice; freedom, responsibility and hope; and questions of pain, survival, and resistance.

The event is open to all. Please register to book your placeLink opens in a new window. Tickets are free and include a drink at Warwick Arts Centre.
