Welcome

WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

In October 2006 the web site was upgraded to a content managed system. While this had many advantages over the old site, it caused a number of problems too - culminating in the site becoming inaccessible, even to your webmaster, following a major server crash in August 2007.  As a result, and by popular request, the site is being returned to the familiar format that it started with:

  • No member registration required.
  • No passwords to remember.

By doing this in time for Christmas, I hope that those of you yet to buy those last minute presents will consider doing so through the OULS Amazon store (above) and, of course, I also hope that we can get the content refreshed in time for the new term to start in February 2008.

Meanwhile, have a Very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR for 2008

Welcome to the web site of the Open University Law Society - run by and for law students at the Open University.  We hope that you will find these pages useful in augmenting your studies of the law and in planning your career going forward.

In 2004 we re-launched our quarterly publication, The Review, and this has received very positive reviews from professionals and members.  In 2005 this web site was launched and it has proved to be of great value in communicatiing with members about forthcoming events and careers fairs.  A significant achievement in 2005 was the introduction of mooting to OULS which has been very encouraging.  We are entering a team in a national mooting competition for the 2005/6 academic year.

Please take the opportunity to browse these pages and to check back regularly for updates, especially in the news, events and careers sections.

Our aim over the coming year is to act as the law students' voice in seeking to enhance & supplement the service our members receive from the Open University, to arrange interesting and worthwhile events/ visits all over the UK and to generally create a proactive and high profile Open University law student presence and perception in the minds of the legal profession.

 
 
 

VERY VERY URGENT!
