PRESIDENT - uncontested

Treasurer - uncontested
Secretary - CONTESTED
NOMINATIONS FOR COMMITTEE

1. PRESIDENT - uncontested

Dominic Barker:

Dear member,
I am Committed, having attended every presidents’ cocktails in the last 2 years, and only missing one C&C (due to it being full), but was so committed I went back to Tesco’s and bought my own cava and Twix. I have also attended Lawsoc events despite having less than 3 weeks before my finals. I have Experience, having been on the Wadham SU committee during both Wadstock and Queerbop, organizing things such as the ice-cream stall, have secured sponsorship for a private house party, and have good leadership and organizational skills, learnt from the OTC and my time as mooting secretary (thank you Jen…)

Vote Dom!

2. Vice President - uncontested

Henry Stuart-Brown:

As Social Secretary I have appreciated the effort that goes into creating a great term. Law Soc has an extremely good formula, however, there is a need to keep the society fresh and ensure law firms and members remain interested in events. As VP I would like to bring more focus to debates and lectures, particularly from barristers, which would provide a fresh change from the tedium of 40 minute advertisements from city law firms. Socially I would look to continue the much-loved traditional events whilst building on the new ideas that have really brightened up the term card.

3. Treasurer - uncontested

Srijanee Bhattacharyya:

DEDICATED, EFFICIENT, FRIENDLY, HARDWORKING and ORGANISED: I hope to bring you an unforgettable Hilary Term as Treasurer.

Through my two terms on committee I have not lost my enthusiasm and passion for all things LawSoc and I want to become more involved.

I am confident that I can ensure that the LawSoc’s finances means that the high standard that one expects from all LawSoc events, whether they be the socials, moots or presentations, are maintained and improved.

I will put in 100% effort and work closely with both exec and committee to achieve this.

Vote for me – Srijanee!

4. Secretary - CONTESTED

Piers Taylor:

As the Publicity Secretary I proved myself to be efficient and reliable.
I now wish to focus inwardly on the organisation of the committee and to
undertake the responsibility of Secretary.

I'll endeavour to help next term's Executive in any way possible to
ensure Michaelmas runs smoothly and effectively and will, as ever,
undertake ad-hoc tasks at short notice with enthusiasm.

It is my intention to exceed your expectations - let me prove my
dedication to the society by voting Piers for Secretary.

------------------------

Efe Ekhaese:

My time on the committee so far has been both enjoyable and rewarding, and based on my dedication and performance I feel that I would make a great candidate for secretary. I am organised and enthusiastic and feel that the role of secretary is one of the most important on the committee and needs an diligent and effective candidate such as myself. I do not feel that much change must occur in this position for next term, as such a great job has already been done, therefore I will place emphasis on maintaining this high standard for the committee.
