Social Life
Social Officers
The Social Officers oversee the organisation, publication and operation of social events of law school. Their main goal is that every event is inclusive, accessible, and of a high quality. These events are important as they contribute to maintaining AULSS’ culture, foster friendships and ensure that students spend some valuable time out of the library. Featured below are short descriptions of a few traditional social events held by AULSS, with a few new exciting ones proposed for 2024!
STEINS
Steins are arguably the most notorious events at law school. These are a traditional feature on the AULSS social calendar, occurring three times a year, boasting a range of creative themes and quality venues. With drink specials and odd guest performers, you do not want to miss these parties! PS, free entry for AULSS members
PART II LAW CAMP
With a long (and at times isolating) degree, the friendships made on Law Camp are definitely the most valuable commodity to come out of it. Older students attend the camp as leaders. This facilitates inter-year group bonding which can be hard to attain during the year without sharing any classes.
COCKTAIL NIGHT
The Cocktail Night is a classy and elegant cocktail evening held at the end of summer each year. This event is restricted to members and their partners, which allows for an intimate setting to facilitate networking and socialising opportunities with partners of various firms.
LAW BALL
The Law Ball is the most extravagant event of the year. The ball committee (maintained by AULSS) works tirelessly to create an event that is unforgettable for all attendees. The event includes pre- dinner drinks, a three-course meal, live music, and an after-ball party. The sell out status of the law ball every year is a testament to its popularity and constant success- so don’t wait to get your tickets!
LEAVERS DINNER
As the year draws to a close, AULSS hosts the Leavers Dinner. This allows final year students to enjoy a night with classmates and lecturers who shaped their experience at Auckland Law School. It is a lovely way to honour the end of many years spent slaving away in the library! An event that we can all look forward to!
