Wycombe Abbey: Cambridge Law Conference

Five members of the LVI attended the Sixth Form Law Conference held at the University of Cambridge, from 15 -18 March 2010. The Conference was hinged on the question ‘What about Law at Cambridge?', and at the same time, provided many thought-provoking questions on the broad and open-ended subject that is the Law.

It gave us a unique insight as to what studying law at Cambridge entails -taking part in lectures given by some of the finest legal professors in the country gave us an incredible opportunity to practise our lateral thinking; experiencing the excitement of mock trials and debates offered us the chance to observe critical legal procedures and legal problem solving; and attending workshops held by city law firms provided us with eye-opening experiences into the different facets of the legal profession out in the real world.

Not only was the conference highly informative and engaging, it also granted us the wonderful opportunity of having a ‘taster' of university life: staying in a college, learning our way around Cambridge, meeting new, friendly faces and enjoying the freedom that university provides. It was truly a packed and exciting week with lots of fun along with the privilege of learning about the Law in such an intellectually stimulating environment. We would definitely recommend it to prospective law students next year.
