The City University London Law Society Caters Well for Its Members Who Have a Diverse Range of Interests
CITY UNIVERSITY LONDON LAW SOCIETY The City University London Law Society caters well for its members who have a diverse range of interests; be it the socials (including the Christmas boat party which has sold out in the last two years), epic cinema screenings, lively debates, mooting competitions, pro-bono/voluntary activities and excellent careers events. This year the law society is hoping to stage more sporting activities between its members and law society members in other Universities in response to widening interest. As law students ourselves we appreciate that reading law at university is not a walk in the park and so the City University London Law Society endeavours to support students in every aspect of their life as a law student. Most people seek advice from those closest to them and those who have been through similar experiences in their own lives as students. We therefore take very seriously the importance of hosting events where students can get to know one another. There will be a number of day and evening activities at the beginning of term, but also throughout the academic year, enabling new students to make and build upon lasting relationships. Without a doubt students get far more out of the society than they put in, and so we encourage them all to become involved. The law society works very hard to provide students with the type of events that they are interested in, we just ask that they make sure they come to events once they have signed up and to keep us constantly informed about the type of events that they wish to participate in.

Westminster Bridge from the South Bank of the Thames with a View
Westminster Bridge from the south bank of the Thames POA with a view of the Abbey in the distance REF:- 374787 Artist: DANIEL TURNER Height: 43 cm (16 1/1") Width: 61 cm (24") Framed Height: 53.2 cm (20 1/1") Framed Width: 71 cm (27 1/1") 1 https://johnbennettfinepaintings.com/westminster-bridge-from-the-south-bank-of-the-tham es-with-a 01/10/2021 Short Description DANIEL TURNER fl.1782 – c.1828 English School Oil on canvas, signed and dated 1803, in carved giltwood frame There is very little known about the life of Daniel Turner: when and where he was born, who instructed him in painting or even when he died, but his legacy is an accurate portrayal of London, particularly of the Thames, and of the buildings and industry it passed through the city. In his “Dictionary of British Landscape Painters” the art historian M H Grant writes: “One of the most charming painters of numerous views of London, which are almost the only relics of a vanished career. In these he may be styled an urban miniaturist, his paintings being of the smallest and neatest, faithful to every brick in the wall, yet so prettily coloured as to render them objects of art as well as of topographical interest.” He painted a few watercolours but most of his work was in oils, some on wooden panels as well as on canvas, and although it is true what Grant says of the majority of his paintings being on the smaller scale of between 5 and 16 inches in height and 8 and 24 inches wide, he did produce some large works of up to about 32 x 50 inches.
