The University of Limerick Law Society (UL Law Soc) is one of the newest societies in UL. It was founded in 2004 with the aims of establishing a law society which would help students to develop a stronger interest in the subject by bringing law out of the textbooks with the help of guest speakers, moot trials and other events including the Law Ball and the annual trip to the European Court of Justice. In the academic year 07/08 the society had an active membership of over 150 students. In 2007 the Director of Public Prosecutions addressed the Society.
At present UL has approximately 600 undergraduate students studying law through one of two courses; Law and European Studies (LL.B) or Law and Accounting (BA). From September 2008 the new course of Law Plus (LL.B) will be introduced replacing Law and European Studies.
