2. Pub Crawl
The first LSS pub crawl for 2011 will be held on Friday 1st April (end of week 5) in the Adelaide CBD! Tshirts will be on sale from Week 4 for $20. Look out for the Facebook event – coming soon with more info.
3. Lockers
The LSS organises the allocation of the lockers in the Ligertwood Building to Law students. If you would like the use of a locker for Semester 1 2011 please register your interest by emailing Claire Wong at admin@aulss.org.au by 12pm on Wednesday 16th March. Allocation will take place that afternoon. If there are more registrations than lockers we will use a random allocation system to decide who will get a locker. Please do not approach the Front Office about lockers!
4. Social Justice: Make Poverty History Action Lab
Do you want to make a difference and help end global poverty? Then get involved in the MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY Action Lab! This amazing opportunity will bring together 100 young campaigners from all over the nation in a weekend summit to be held in Sydney from the 1st to the 3rd of April. You will be able to engage with other young advocates and recieve expert training from some of Australia’s most experienced campaigners as well as leaders of NGO’s. Following the summit you will be part of a 40 day grassroots campaign to defend Australia’s aid budget. Applications close on March 14. Visit http://www.mphactionlab.com.au for more details.
5. Election of First Year Representatives
Every year, in addition to the general LSS positions, there are two ‘First Year Representative’ positions available exclusively for First Year Law students (one boy and one girl). The role of the First Year Representatives is primarily to bring the LSS’s attention to issues that are specific to First Year Law Students. Voting will take place in the Law School Foyer (Ligertwood) over two days in Week 5: 11.00-1.00pm on Wednesday 30 March 2011 and 11.00-1.00pm on Thursday 31 March 2011. To be eligible to nominate and vote you must be enrolled in Torts I from Week 3 onwards. Results of the voting will be sent to students on Monday 4 April 2011 (Week 6).
