The Pre-Law Society is back, and this semester promises to be filled with exciting events, engaging discussions, and plenty of opportunities to network and learn. Co-presidents Adam Khatchirian and Madyson Salter kicked things off at our first meeting, where they laid out an ambitious and fun-packed agenda for the semester.

One of the biggest highlights coming up is a mock trial! The mock trial will give members the chance to step into the shoes of a lawyer, refine their public speaking skills, and experience what it’s like to argue a case in a courtroom setting. Whether you’re dreaming of becoming a litigator or just want to sharpen your critical thinking, this will be an invaluable experience. Stay tuned for dates and details on how to get involved—there will be a need for volunteers for both legal teams and witnesses!

The team is excited to announce a guest speaker event featuring Mann Vergan, a BCS alumni who now works at Lazareff Le Bars, a prestigious international law firm. Mann will be sharing his journey to the world of international law, offering insights into working at a global firm, and providing valuable advice for those considering a career in law. This is an amazing opportunity to hear directly from someone who has successfully transitioned from university to a prominent position in the legal field, so mark your calendars for what is sure to be an inspiring talk!

On a more social note, the society is teaming up with other campus groups for a wine and cheese night! This will be a great opportunity to mingle with students from different disciplines, share ideas, and make connections. Whether you’re looking for a new study buddy or just want to meet some like-minded peers, this event promises to be one of the most fun evenings of the semester.

From intellectual challenges like the mock trial to relaxed networking at the wine and cheese night, there’s something for everyone this semester. Adam and Mady, along with the entire executive team, are passionate about making this society a welcoming and supportive space for all aspiring legal professionals. The buzz around the first meeting is just a taste of the excitement to come—don’t miss out! We can’t wait to see you at our next event!
