Nominations for Officer Positions

Trinity Term

Secretary, Contested

Alice Free, St Catherine’s College

As a social secretary, I proved myself to be a keen volunteer and hard worker. I am now eager to take on the greater level of responsibility that the position of Secretary offers. The administrative tasks the role involves are crucial to the ongoing success of the society; organised and efficient, I would perform my secretarial duties diligently and effectively. With the utmost enthusiasm, I can guarantee an energetic and dynamic approach to the role. Capable of working well in a team, I know the committee could depend on me to act with complete dedication to the Law Society.

Jennifer Ashley, St Hilda’s College

I’ve loved my first term as social secretary, attending events religiously and learning to become an amazing buffet buyer! I hope to continue moving LawSoc forward and helping members of the society get as much out of it as I do.
I promise to bring enthusiasm to the role of secretary, efficiently taking minutes, organising rooms and making clear, fair rotas. I’m eager and ready to help anyone who needs it, whenever they need it.
I believe I am an organised , reliable and fun member of the committee, dedicated to LawSoc and great for the role of secretary.

Michaelmas Term

President Elect, Uncontested

Ryan Taylor, St Catherine’s College

Having served as Secretary for the committee, I am enthused and determined to contribute further to this already vibrant society. I see President as being the natural progression to match my organisational skills, reliability and commitment to Oxford law society. As a confident and out-going Yorkshireman I’ll endeavour to improve the quality of all society events with efficiency and professionalism; from creating new social events and sporting fixtures to maintaining excellent relationships with all sponsors (+ Marks & Spencers)!

Vice President Elect, Uncontested

Jamie Hill, Balliol College

I have plenty of experience of how the society functions after two terms on committee and feel I have developed the necessary skills to perform the role of vice-president successfully. I have been fully committed to the society during my time and having worked under two fantastic executives, I would relish the opportunity to input my own ideas. I want to revamp the membership so that all members receive our emails and are fully aware of upcoming events. Other ideas include a ‘members v sponsors’ sporting event and a traditional ‘ballroom’ location for the ball.

For a thrill, vote Hill!
