Hello CLS! Applications for ELSA Winter Law Schools have now opened. During your time at a Winter Law School, you can spend a week in another European country specialising in various areas of law you may be interested in, such as cyber-security and AI law, gdpr, arbitration, business law and more. Additionally, you can explore the city and be part of various academic programmes like contract drafting master classes, mooting, etc as well as social events like gala ball, sightseeing, beach-day, clubbing, games night, quiz night etc.

You do not need to be member of ELSA LEICESTER to apply to these schools, although being a member of ELSA Leicester would give you some discounts (around 70-100 euros). Accommodation, food and the course is included in the winter school fees and these work out at a very reasonable price: typically about 355- 380 euros for the week. There are numerous cheap flights to Europe - (going abroad to one of these Winter Law Schools could well be cheaper than travelling for a day trip to London!)

You get a certificate of participation at the end. These are fantastic events to take advantage of your time studying in Europe and to enhance your CV.

Here are the portfolios of winter law schools that students can apply to -https://lawschools.elsa.org/winter-portfolio-2/

Applications close on November 24th. You can apply to up to three winter law schools.

Additionally, If you are interested in getting involved with helping ELSA LEICESTER specifically in respect of other activities, events, and socials which this Society can do, please get in contact with the President Anu Adhikari [email protected]
