The SLS is unique in that everyone who gets involved, either by seeking legal information or by providing it, stands to gain substantially from doing so. In recent years, the SLS has firmly established itself as one of the most active and successful societies on campus with volunteers drawn from the UCD School of Law every year.

The essence of our existence is observed in our legal information clinics, through which our dedicated volunteers ensure students and staff have access to a professional facility in which they can seek legal information on any issues facing them. In this way, the society plays a major role in contributing to the well-being of the UCD community. Other measures of the success of the SLS include the Student Legal Convention, competitions through which students can develop their practical legal skills such as the annual Negotiating Competition, and its annual publications which have achieved national acclaim, particularly from the Judiciary and the Academic community.

The continued success of each of the society’s undertakings is a testament to the calibre of students who volunteer with the SLS and is also attributed to the much appreciated support we receive from sponsorship.
