DURHAM LAW SOCIETY
EST 1833
From The President
Hello to all, I'm Tyrese, your 183rd President of Durham Law Society. I'm genuinely excited and ready for the year ahead. My vision is simple: to make DLS more inclusive, more conducive to actual success, and more meaningful than just another name-drop on your CV. That said, we're not handing out success. We'll give you the tools: firm exposure, commercial insight, and real opportunities. But it's up to you to use them. And one last thing: please don't make law your whole personality. Go to the balls, go out and get a little loose, you're at university, not a year-long assessment centre. Durham has so much more to offer. Enjoy it. Touch grass. You're allowed to enjoy Durham without turning every moment into a LinkedIn post. On that note, let's make it a good one!!
