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]

History
[ edit ]
CULS was established in January 1901 by the Faculty of Law, Cambridge as an educational body of law students. It had a small membership in its earlier years, and was dormant during World War I . In 1920, it was given increased attention by then Downing Professor of the Laws of England Harold Hazeltine ,[4] who delivered its inaugural address. Through the connections of the Faculty , CULS hosted prominent legal figures in the 1920s, including Joseph Henry Beale ,[4] Roscoe Pound ,[8] Travers Humphreys ,[9] and William Buckland .[9] These addresses were academic in nature, and were frequently reproduced in the Cambridge Law Journal . CULS also increased its engagement with other Cambridge University societies, including through debates.[10] [11] By 1977, CULS was the third-largest society by memberships in the University of Cambridge .[12]
