Law school is nothing without the people you meet and the friendships you build. There is simply no better opportunity to make new friends and lasting memories than attending a UQLS social event!

Keep an eye on the UQLS Facebook page, where we release all information about our events, dates, and links to purchase tickets. If you have any questions concerning our socials events, contact us at socials@uqls.com.

Pub Crawl

There’s something magical about roaming the city in silly shirts with a bunch of your new best mates. Every year we run Pub Crawl, in collaboration with UQBA and UQES, in which we move from pub to pub making for a fun day out for our members. This year, Pub Crawl will be in Semester Two.

Law Ball

Quite simply the hottest ticket in the University social calendar, Law Ball promises a chance to wear a dinner suit or ball gown, a full night of cocktail-style drinks and food, a dance floor you won’t forget, and maybe even more… Law Ball is undoubtedly our biggest and best event of the year and is held towards the end of Semester One.
