Hello DULSA! We are pleased to announce some important dates for career opportunities with Eversheds Sutherland LLP 🧡

All applications are to be made online via the Eversheds Sutherland website

Hi! My name is Holly Jennings and I am President of DULSA 22/23! I am an incoming 2nd year Law student at Hatfield College.

Outside of DULSA, I am a 'Wildcats' college cheerleader. A bit more about me: I am interested in employment law, probably the biggest fan of 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' ever and I sing jazz - bring on the Society's 'Jazz and Prosecco Ball'!

Freshers, you have such an exciting year ahead of you! I have the most wonderful friends in college, on my course, from joining societies and now from the DULSA committee. Put yourself out there, work hard and importantly have fun!

Hello! I’m Gauri, and I’ll be your Vice President and International Officer for the year.

When I’m not doing Law stuff, you can normally find me scrolling endlessly on TikTok and occasionally writing prose and poetry. I also love volunteering in my spare time. I’m passionate about occupational mobility and diversity and hope my time in DULSA can promote legal and interdisciplinary access for all.

I would love to meet and talk to all of you, so if you ever see me walking by in Market Place or around Durham, please do feel free to have a nice little chat.

Pro Tip : Wiff Waff ticket sell out in 5 minutes so you’re better off waiting as the link opens rather than begging for one on Overheard :P

Ben at Collingwood!

Going into my second year of law. DULSA Treasurer.

On the Collingwood Rowing Team and also play saxophone in my spare time (when I have it).

I’m a huge nerd and actually have a published poem.

Get stuck in and join as many things as you can, even if you leave most by the end of first term. Just try to experience it all.

Hello! This is Vicki Wong, the Secretary for DULSA 22/23 💗 I’m a second-year law student at Josephine Butler College from Hong Kong☺️

Outside of academics, I love doing college cheerleading and discovering new restaurants around Durham🍰

DULSA has got so much planned for this year, so stayed tuned and join us to meet like-minded friends😆

Hi I'm Rachael!! I'm a second year law student from Chads and I'll be your publicity officer for the year!

Some of my hobbies include urban exploring, cooking (I try 😵‍💫) and I also play pool & badminton casually. I'm very excited for what DULSA has to offer everyone for the next year! 🧡🧡

ps. I've started learning a new instrument very recently! I always encourage people to try new things :"))

Hi! I’m Aneesa Gulamhusein and I’m a final year law student at Durham University. I’m the International Pathways officer for the year 🧡

Hello, I am Diya Moogi ,a second year law student from Hild Bede and I will be your Law outside of London officer for this year.

One formula I swear by is: whatever flows, flows and whatever crashes, crashes :)

I am eagerly waiting to interact with all of you wonderful people and I am more than certain that we are going to have a great year ahead.

Hi im the Sponsorship Officer for DULSA this year and I look forward to communicating with law firms and chambers that you all would want to eventually be a part of. I’m extremely excited for this role and to meet you all this year!

Recently, our society held a referendum for a name change to help reduce confusion with the European Law Students' Association (coincidentally named ELSA!)
