Dear all,

 

Welcome to the Holdsworth Club, the Official Law Society at the University of Birmingham! We are one of the oldest law societies as we were established in 1927. The Holdsworth Club has always been a pillar to all law students since its founding and we are proud to finally accept all degrees since 2019. We are comprised of over 1000 members, including current students and alumni.

 

We have always been honoured to have renowned judges and jurists as our Presidents such as Lord Denning, Lord Wilberforce, Lady Hale, Lord Radcliffe and more. These esteemed Presidents are welcomed to provide an address to our members in which many concepts such as the legal neighbours by Lord Atkin in the case of Donoghue v Stevenson was established. The Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin was our President for the 2021-22 academic year promoting the international outreach of the club. We are excited to announce our new chair and committee for the 2026-27 academic year!

​

Our goal is to give our members exceptional career opportunities, meaningful academic and welfare support, and a real sense of community. Over the past year, we’ve been able to strengthen our connections between our peers and our colleagues through a mix of social events and career‑focused activities. We also expanded our sports department and continue to introduce new and exciting opportunities across all areas of Club life.

​​

It’s a real honour to be leading this year’s committee. Our focus this year is on strengthening career and social opportunities for our members, and we’re eager to build on our momentum and deliver another positive, engaging year.

​

Yours sincerely,

 

Dana
