Welcome to the LLM Society Blog

The LL.M. Society at the University of Aberdeen has been around for several years. Its main purpose is to bring LL.M. students together to enjoy their time and assist eachothers along their way to success!

We meet frequently and engage in a variety of social activities such as entertaining nights out, challenging sports competitions, and trips around Scotland, as well as educational activities such as guest lectures and the like.

The present blog has been created in the aim of facilitating further communication among us – the LLM Society Members. Please feel free to post your ideas, suggestions and comments.

Please note that the facebook profile of the LLM Society is undergoing. It is the best tool which gives us power to share and makes our international network more open and connected.

Previous Events

Discussion Panel: "Legal Practice in Scotland: is it a right choice?"

The LLM Society was pleased to organize on Friday March 14 2008 this discussion panel in which two trainee solicitors (Ms. Frances Reilly and Ms. Lorna Rogers) shared with us their opinion about the advantages and disadvantages of practicing law in Scotland. This was a valuable opportunity even for those among us who intend to practice law outside of Scotland since the information gained in this lecture could be used as a basis for comparison with other jurisdiction.

Sunday Movie Night

The Weekly Movie Nights will resume after the Easter holiday.

Latest movie shown was Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth". This is a documentary movie about global warming presented by the former US Vice President Al Gore. The movie won 2 Oscars in 2007, and Al Gore got the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to draw attention to global warming.

The Bowling Party !!

If you're looking for people who know how to have fun - you have come to the right place.

The LLM Students made their way on October 29, 2007 to the Aberdeen beach arena. They all came with one intention: Having a Great Time! .. And so they did. It was simply one of those memorable nights in the life of the LLM students. The whole thing started by a game of bowling, then it evolved to whole bunch of other fun activities. Curious to know more - see below pictures taken on that night.

Sheriff’s Court Visit

On October 20, 2007 the LLM Society organized a visit to the Sheriff’s Court in Aberdeen. The LLM students had the chance to meet distinguished members of the Scottish judicial system. As put in the words of one of the students: “The visit was a perfect opportunity to gain in depth knowledge about the judicial system in Scotland”.

The LLM Society expresses its warm appreciation to all the people who helped in making this visit a success.

Please find below some pictures taken during this visit.
