ABOUT

Girton College Law Society boasts a large network of law and non-law students studying at the University of Cambridge, both at undergraduate and graduate level.

​

Girton College has a longstanding tradition in the study of the law and we are immensely proud of our distinguished Society members in this field. Girton lawyers have always been pioneers. To mention but a few of our members, the College Visitor, Baroness Brenda Hale is the first female Justice and President of the Supreme Court; Lady Mary Arden, the first female High Court Judge to be assigned to the Chancery Division, recently became a Justice of the Supreme Court; Dame Elizabeth Gloster is the first female judge appointed to the Commercial Court and is a Lady Justice of Appeal; and Baroness Rosalyn Higgins was the first woman who became a President of the International Court of Justice.

​

Our Society complements a thriving academic environment in Girton with support for career development, networking opportunities and social events.
