The Cambridge University Law Society (also known as "CULS" or "LawSoc") is the educational and representative body of undergraduate law students at the University of Cambridge. Founded in 1901, and with an estimated 2,000 active members,[1] it is the largest United Kingdom student-led law society and among the largest student-run law societies in the world.[2][3]

The society founded the Cambridge Law Journal as a student publication in 1921,[4][5] today the longest-running university law journal in the United Kingdom and the principal publication of the Faculty of Law, Cambridge.

It is known for its Speakers events featuring prominent lawyers, politicians and legal celebrities. It also publishes the Cambridge Law Review and organises the annual University of Cambridge Law Ball, one of the University's most prominent events outside May Week.[6] It is one of the wealthiest societies at the University of Cambridge.[1][7]
