Student Support
Life can be fairly hectic when you first come to University: a new city to find your way around, new people to meet, a new subject to study and plenty of social and other attractions! There will be many opportunities to ask academic staff questions about teaching and assessments, but the University and the Law School also provide a wide range of services to support you throughout your time as a student on both an academic and personal level.

Law Careers and Skills Advisor - the Law School has a dedicated careers advisor who works closely with the University's Careers Service to arrange a careers programme in the Law School. The Law Careers and Skills Advisor also runs the Innocence Project, which was set up in 2005-06 following significant interest from students in the area of criminal law and, in particular, miscarriages of justice. Cardiff Law School, in conjunction with Bristol University provided the first national training programme for Universities' Innocence Projects in conjunction with Innocence Network UK. The Law and Careers Skills Advisor also organises pro bono activities within the Law School.
Student Law Society - the Society is run and organised by students in the Law School and arranges social and recreational activities for its members, including the Law Ball, weekend trips and sporting teams.
