Event Details

ELSA has arranged to visit the Supreme Court during 2011/12. 

Each tour should last around 45 minutes and will include an introduction to the Supreme Court, why it has moved from the House of Lords, The Constitutional Reform Act, The separation of powers between legislatures and judiciary.  It will also explain the type of cases which are dealt with at the Supreme Court, what is meant by a point of law with some examples of cases explained. Finally the tour guide will talk about the current building and its connections with Middlesex as well as the new art work of the building.

After the educational part of the visit, you will be able to sit in court to watch a hearing – if any are listed on the day of your visit. Cases are listed here

Please also note, that you can visit the Supreme Court  any time without ELSA. All our courts (except family court and courts sitting in closed sessions) are open to the public. I would really recommend that you visit your local magistrates or crown court when you have time, just to watch a case.

ELSA London



 ELSA London was formed in February 2005. We are an independent, intercollegiate, not-for-profit, non-political Association of London Law Students. ELSA London is an inclusive association – we welcome under- and postgraduates, UK and international, full-time and part-time students. ELSA London does not discriminate on the grounds of race, gender, religion or sexual orientation. In particular, we encourage membership from those who have an international outlook or those who are interested in improving the world around them by becoming active citizens. ELSA (pronounced like the girl’s name) believes strongly in the protection of human rights and we encourage law students to become pro-active in this field by undertaking pro bono or voluntary work placements with human rights NGOs. We also support and promote the work of different human rights organisations and student societies as we believe that collaboration and co-operation is the way forward when human resources are spread so thinly.

ELSA London was the first intercollegiate association of law students. We welcome members from any of the 20+ law schools in London. Our aim in 2005 was to try to break down the barriers which exist between law students studying at different institutions and between postgraduates and undergraduates or between UK and international students. We believe in networking, in collaborating, in sharing information and opportunities. We hope that the networks we build whilst studying in London will be strong enough to survive into employment – wherever in the world that might be!

As well as gaining a further insight into legal issues within a wider, international context, ELSA London organises visits to courts, parliament, and the EU institutions. Our purpose is to add value to that which is studied at our law schools by enabling our members to participate in – and to organise! – extra curricular activities.
