Here’s a run-down of all of Semester One’s jam-packed events calendar! Don’t forget to check out the galleries as well!

Blackstone New Students’ Welcome Breakfast
DATE: Tuesday 16 March 2010
In 2010, the Blackstone Society plan to hold an alcohol-free, sit-down welcome breakfast for all new law students. This event will provide a great opportunity to be introduced to other law students, the Blackstone Society, members of the UWA Law Faculty staff and members of the legal profession before the university year begins.

Back to Uni Courtyard Show
DATE: Friday 26 February 2010
Courtyard Show – the celebration of both the beginning and end of the academic year for all law students. Forget about the fancy outfits and strained bank accounts, the courtyard show offers everything you need to have a good time at student-friendly prices. Dancing in the fountain and enjoying the view as the boys get their tops off (for no reason at all) are all Blackstone traditions. Yeah we know, awesome.

Fresher Picnic
DATE: Friday 26 February 2010
If you just don’t think you can hack 2 nights of law camp but still need some friends to discuss your awesome TER score with then come to Fresher Picnic. If you’re just that brilliant then you will come to both events, High-five. I kid about the TER score, we’re all smart, we don’t care what you got but congrats anyway!

Law Camp
DATE: Friday 12 – Sunday 14 March 2010
Disco buses, boat races, debauchery, frolicking, fraternising, the beep test, dancing, eating, dancing, drinking, dancing, awesome.  Do some of these phrases/words make little or no sense to you? Are you a fresher (brand spanking new to Law School)? Do you need friends (and be honest with yourself)? Make sure you buy a ticket to Law Camp. Everyone loves it and whoever goes comes back with guaranteed street cred. Hurry because tickets usually sell out within the first day.

PROSH
DATE: Wednesday 21 April 2010
The largest charity newspaper in Australia kicks off every year with extravagant themes, costumes, floats and shenanigans! Help raise money for charity by getting up at 4am to sell newspapers throughout Perth’s suburbs. A truly hilarious, satirical rendition of the world’s current affairs, it’s well worth the sleep deprivation.

Super Thursday
DATE: TBA
The ultimate soccer match between the law schools. Come down with your soccer boots and kick some butt! Otherwise you could linger on the side lines cheering UWA on with a soda and hotdog in hand.

Tri-Law Show
DATE: TBA
Three law schools come together and hire out a nightclub in Northbridge… sounds like a rompous night of fun and frivolity! An excellent way to socialise with other law students from other law schools!

Final Year Cocktail Party
DATE: TBA
The Blackstone Society’s Final Year Cocktail Party is a fantastic night for final year students. It is held at the beginning of the academic year as a ‘back-to-school event’ for students graduating in 2010. The Cocktail Party is a great night to dress up, relax and catch up with everyone’s news and travels over summer!

Law Dinner Debate
DATE: Friday 7 May 2010
The Blackstone Society’s Annual Dinner and Debate is the social event for bridging gaps between UWA law students, Law School staff and WA legal professionals. The evening sees these groups come together, over great food and wine, to watch a team of three UWA law students face off against a team of three WA legal professionals. The debate is always unruly and full of laughs, and topped off with some surprise revelations from both sides! Always a memorable night.

Women in the Law Mentor Scheme
Cocktail Party launch: Friday 26 March 2010

Gala Breakfast: Thursday 23 September 2010

The Blackstone Society’s Women in the Law Mentor Scheme is a major annual event run by the Equity portfolio. The Scheme sees female law student mentees paired with female mentors from the legal profession. Several social events are run throughout the year as part of the Scheme, providing an opportunity for mentees and mentors to mingle, give and receive invaluable advice and discuss issues of concern to women in the law. In 2010 a cocktail party will be held to launch the Scheme, followed by a gala breakfast in second semester.
