Abigail Smith
Vice-President, CJLD
The first few months of the year have been very busy for the Cambridgeshire Junior Lawyers Division. We kicked off our 2021 social calendar with a Virtual Bingo Event, involving a game of bingo interspersed with quick fire challenges. The event was a big success and brought a bit of fun to an otherwise gloomy evening in lockdown.
For our February event we were very pleased to work with our sponsors, Wesleyan, to host a virtual cheese tasting led by the Cambridge Cheese Company. A platter of cheese was sent to each of our attendees’ homes. We heard about the history and origin of each cheese and, of course, we had a chance to taste some local delicacies.
Looking forward, we are hosting an Easter baking event. Our very own social secretaries will be guiding us through the process of baking Easter themed rocky road. While we wait for our concoctions to set, we will be running an Easter Quiz. Naturally, there will be chocolatey prizes for the most successful quizzer.
The recent government announcements have encouraged us to look ahead to hosting in person events when it is safe to do so. We look forward to meeting our new members and those we have already ‘met’ virtually when restrictions are lifted. We have even begun to look into planning the September Ball alongside the Cambridge Young Professionals Group.
As a committee we are also keen to continue to grow our relationship with law students in Cambridgeshire. This month sees us welcome an Anglia Ruskin University representative to the committee. Our education representatives have been hard at work planning a programme of events that will allow prospective lawyers to find out more about a career in law in all its potential forms.
As always we would like to thank our sponsors Errington Legal and Wesleyan for their continued support. We look forward to seeing what the next few months have in store for CJLD.
