Looking to get more involved in life at Lincoln's Inn? Applications for Student Representative roles on the Lincoln's Inn Students' Association (LISA) Committee are now open ⭐

Eve Handley, LISA President, shares her experience of the role:

💬 "It has been a true privilege to be the President of LISA. This role has allowed me to make a meaningful difference to students’ experience at the Inn — from organising and hosting the Winter and Summer balls, to representing students’ interests within the Pre-Call Committee and in meetings with the Bar Council. It has provided me with a unique opportunity to work closely with barristers, Benchers, and Inn staff, all of whom provided me incredible support both in my work as LISA President and in pursuing my career goals. I would encourage anyone and everyone to apply to be a part of the LISA Committee next year.”
