EFWiL Shelf Indulgence
One thing law students tell us often is they don’t make enough time for non-legal reading. Some don’t even read non-law materials until after they graduate! By bringing together current students and legal professionals we wanted to give permission to our law students to read outwith their course and help our professionals to connect with students still on-course. Sharing books and ideas around books can be so powerful – what will you discover?
Following its success in early 2022, the EFWiL Shelf Indulgence book club will read three books together between November 2022 and April 2023. These books are funded by the Edinburgh Foundation for Women in Law (EFWiL) and you will receive a free copy (paperback or eBook) of each book that we read. The first book we will read is Haben Girma’s: Haben: the deafblind woman who conquered Harvard Law. For our subsequent reads, we will take a look at your sign-up suggestions and let you guide our direction.
Please note: You must sign-up using your university or organisation email address.
The dates of our virtual book discussions are:
- Tuesday 6th December 2022 (Rescheduled from 24th November due to Industrial Action), 5:30-6:30pm (please note: following feedback from last year, we are trialling a later book club time for the first session).
- Wednesday 1st March 2023, 1-2pm
- Thursday 27th April 2023, 1-2pm
Places in the club are limited and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Places will be communicated once registration closes on 2 November.
If we are over-subscribed we will prioritise those who consider themselves to be widening participation students. We define this fairly broadly, so if you’re not sure if you fit the criteria listed under ‘WP Individuals’ then just get in touch and we can advise.
