GħSL  

Portfolio  2015/16    

GħSL  was  set  up  by  a  group  of  law  students  in  1943,  led  by  Joseph  Ganado,  who  later  became  Professor  of  Civil  Law  at  the  Faculty  of  Laws  of  the  University  of  Malta.

Law students elect executive members to the GħSL Board to represent their best interests within the faculty, while Class Representatives are appointed from every year of the law course to maintain the best possible communication between the Society, the Faculty of Laws and the students themselves. The organisation plays a pivotal role in law students’ academic and social life at the University of Malta. GħSL seeks to be at the forefront of local and international legal policies; naturally of interest to law students. The organisation is responsible for the distribution of authoritative law notes and past papers published by GħSL and the University of Malta, and also

organizes several seminars and conferences which are often addressed by leading local and foreign speakers. GħSL has undergone a complete revamp, with new blood giving a fresh image to the organisation’s already solid foundation. The yearly social calendar focuses on organizing a variety of parties; among these are Fresher’s, end of exams, and summer parties. Most notable in GħSL’s social calendar is the yearly ball, more recently the seminar for law students, and participation in charitable events such as the President’s Fun Run. Such events help strengthen the link between the organization and law student

About  GħSL  Għaqda Studenti Tal-Liġi (Malta Law Students’ Society) is a faculty-based non-profit organisation at the University of Malta that represents all law students within the Faculty of Laws.    

In  2015,  GħSL  introduced  a  number  of  statutory  committees,  including  Academic,  Policy,  Events,  Legal  Aid  and  International  Committees.  As  a  result  over  100  law  students  have  now  joined  GħSL.

body, as well as with other university students. As part of its holistic approach to university life, GħSL makes an effort to keep in close contact with the various organisations on campus. The organization has also been responsible for publishing ‘Id-Dritt’ Law Journal, first released in 1944, when a number of law students started publishing the very first University of Malta law journal. Today, this journal has gained wide popularity among law students and professionals alike, with the 25th edition being published in 2014. In an attempt to facilitate access to important legal material, the organization set up the GħSL ‘Online Law Journal’, providing students, professionals, and the general public with a myriad of information. These articles and legal commentaries are updated frequently to keep up with the ever-changing legal forum.

GħSL also boasts its own Thesis Library, located at the Faculty of Laws. It contains a collection of theses written by students at the culmination of their legal education at the University of Malta, as well as a number of books and foreign journals kindly donated by the organisation’s benefactors. These materials are an invaluable source of information for research and study, and can be borrowed for a time period from the library itself.  

Dirk  is  a  very  committed  and  determined  person  who  focuses  on  reaching  the  goals  he  sets  himself  from  time  to  time,  whilst  dedicating  a  lot  of  time  to  being  an  active  student  and  helping  other  students  in  the  process.    

What  does  GħSL  mean  to  you?  

GħSL   is   a   vital   organisation  within   University   student  life   and   is   an   essential   component   of   the   Faculty   of  Laws,   which   can   be   referred   to   as   a   tool   which  facilitates   the   Law   Student's   experience   at   the  University  of  Malta.  

 

Why  did  you  choose  to  get  involved  in  GħSL?  

GħSL  had  so  much  potential  which   I   felt  wasn't  being  properly   tapped   into   and   therefore   together   with   a  few   friends   decided   to   involve  myself  and  set   out   on  this  project.  The  fact  that  I  would  be  able  to  represent  my   fellow   course-­‐mates   and   help   better   their  academic   experience   at   University   was   also   a   major  reason  as  to  why  I  chose  to  join  GħSL.  

 

One  word  which  best  describes  the  organisation.  

Effective.  

 

What  are  you  aiming  to  achieve  in  the  coming  year?  

I  am  hoping  to  continue  on  this  journey  I  set  out  on  2  years   ago   to   make   GħSL   more   relevant   on   several  different   spheres,   with   the   main   priority   this   year  being   to   continue   to   improve   the   services   offered  by  GħSL   to   all   Law   students,   whilst   also   becoming   a  respected   legal   partner   on   national   issues   that   may  arise   from   time   to   time.   The   ongoing   priority   is   to  continue  building  foundations  for  future  executives  to  always   be   one   step   ahead  when   it   comes   to   student  representation.  

 

 

Dirk  Urpani  PRESIDENT  president@ghsl.org  

Joshua  is  a  very  meticulous  person  when  it  comes  to  executing  entrusted  projects  and  finds  satisfaction  in  knowing  that  what  he’ll  produce  will  be  for  the  benefit  of  other  students.    

What  does  GħSL  mean  to  you?  GħSL   is   an   organisation   on   campus   made   of   law  students   for   law   students.   Since   the   law   course   is   so  large,  it's  very  easy  for  a  student  to  be  engulfed  in  the  machine   that   is   the   law   course   at   the   University   of  Malta.  GħSL  is  an  essential  tool   to  bridge   the  student  with  the  Faculty  of  Laws.  We  have  a  fundamental  role  to  make  the  student's  academic  life  on  campus  easier  and   less   stressful   by   giving   them   as   many   tools   as  possible   to   facilitate   the   process.   This   also   means  finding  ways  to  help  students  break  from  their  studies  by  organising  social  events.    Why  did  you  choose  to  get  involved  in  GħSL?  I  chose  to  get  involved  in  GħSL  to  ensure  law  students  are  never  put  to  the  side.  One  thing  I  believe  in,  is  that  although  we  come  to  University  to  learn  and  to  work,  this  experience  should  be  something  more,  more  than  simply   day   in   and   day   out   of   lectures   but   an  experience  that  will  remain  with  us  for  years  to  come.    One  word  which  best  describes  the  organisation.  REPRESENTATIVE    What  are  you  aiming  to  achieve  in  the  coming  year?  My  aim  is  to  work  to  see  GħSL  grow  further  and  reach  out   to   students   in   their   daily   lives   ensuring   they   can  count  on  the  organisation  to  support  them  throughout  the  year.  These  are  exciting  times  for  the  organisation,  and  I  look  forward  to  be  a  part  of  it  yet  again,  whether  in   dealing   with   issues   in   the   law   course   or   national  legal  issues.      

Joshua  Chircop  SECRETARY  GENERAL  secgen@ghsl.org  

Patrick   is   a   27-­‐year-­‐old   student   who   is  currently   reading   for   the   Doctorate   of  Laws   degree   after   successfully   graduating  from   Bachelor   of   Laws.   Having   previously  graduated   from   the   BSc.   Business   and  Computing   and   B.Com.   (Hons)  Management  degrees,  he  is  considered  to  have   an   extensive   experience   both   at  University  and  also  in  the  business  world.  

Patrick   also   has   an   extensive   portfolio   when   it   comes   to  student   organisations,   where   he   has   been   giving   his  contribution  to  various  events  and  projects,  both  locally  and  internationally,  since  the  age  of  16.  Having  served  as  Faculty  of   Laws   Student   Representative   and   Class   Representative  for   the   past   three   years,   he   has   also   built   an   excellent  rapport   with   the   Faculty   of   Laws   academics   and  administration.    What  does  GħSL  mean  to  you?  GħSL   is  a  faculty-­‐based  student  organisation  which  has  the  representation  all  law  students  at  heart.  But  apart  from  the  cliché   version,   really   and   truly   GħSL   is   not   only   limited   to  students   and   the   Faculty   of   Laws,   as   it   was   from   its  inception   and   still   is   till   the   day   of   today   a   point   of  departure   for   all   aspiring   and   established   lawyers,   the  Judicature  and  the  Justice  Ministry.  Apart  from  representing  law  students,  which  is  already  a  mission  in   itself,  the  Malta  Law  Student  Society  organises  social   and  academic  events,  publishes   its   renowned   peer-­‐reviewed   law   journal   Id-­‐Dritt  and  addresses   law-­‐related   national   issues  which  affect   the  public  at  large.    Why  did  you  choose  to  get  involved  in  GħSL?  I   believe   that  GħSL  has  a  great  potential  when   it   comes  to  student   politics,   representation,   social   and   academic  events,   and   law-­‐related   issues.   It   would   have   been   a   pity  not   to   take   the  opportunity   to   join   the  Executive  Board  of  such  a  great  organisation.    One  word  which  best  describes  the  organisation.  Relevant    What  are  you  aiming  to  achieve  in  the  coming  year?  Having  served  in  the  same  position  for  the  past  year,  where  I   succeeded   in  restructuring  GħSL’s  accounting   system  and  managed   to   turn   loss-­‐making   events   into  more   profitable  ones,   this   year   I   can   direct   my   focus   to   consolidate   last  year’s   work   by   securing   more   sponsorships   and   raising  more  funds  to  be  able  to  provide  all  law  students  with  more  services  and  events.

What  does  GħSL  mean  to  you?  After   a   years   experience   within   GħSL,   I   can   safely  say  that  it  is  the  organisations  entrusted  by  the  law  students   to   protect   their   rights   within   the   law  course   and   that   will   do   its   utmost   to   satisfy   the  students,   both   in   a   academic   matters   and   non  academic   matters   alike.   GħSL   gives   a   sense   of  belonging  to  law  students!    Why  did  you  choose  to  get  involved  in  GħSL?  Being   an   active   person   in   student   life,   it   was  somewhat  of  a  natural  step  to   involve  myself   in  an  organisations   within   University.   GħSL   seemed   the  ideal  place  as  it  tackled  all  sorts  of  issues  that  affect  law   students.   The   challenge   to   make   GħSL   once  again  a   trustworthy,   credible  and   ‘big'  organisation  on   campus  was   an   added   benefit   which   made  me  rise  to  the  challenge  to  involve  myself  within  GħSL.    One  word  which  best  describes  the  organisation.  Progress  and  delivers!    What   are   you   aiming   to   achieve   in   the   coming  year?  Most  importantly  to  continue  building  on  the  strong  foundations   set   up   last   term   and   make   student  automatically  seek  GħSL  for  whatever  matter.  From  the   perspective   of   my   office,   I   want   to   deliver  GħSL’s  message  to  the  law  students  more  efficiently  and   thus   have   better   and   more   effective   Public  relations.  Moreover,  increase  GħSL’s  participation  in  charitable  events.   Lastly,  make  sure  GħSL   is   sought  for  its  legal  advise  from  a  students  perspective  both  in   terms   of   University   in   the   law   course   and   all  national  legal  issues.

What  does  GħSL  mean  to  you?  To   me,   GħSL   is   a   representation   of   all   the  students   in   the   law   course,   primarily   an  Executive  prepared  to  work  hard  to  identify  students’   needs,   problems,   and   queries,  bring   them   to   the   fore   and   solve   them  efficiently.    Why   did   you   choose   to   get   involved   in  GħSL?  My  first   year  of   the  course  flew  by  without  me   taking   any   interest   in   student   politics,  and   I   soon   realised   University   life   has   so  much   more   to   offer.   Apart   from   simply  getting   involved,   GħSL   is   the   ideal   entity  through  which  I  could  help  other  students.    One   word   which   best   describes   the  organisation.  Holistic.    What   are   you   aiming   to   achieve   in   the  coming  year?  I  have  a  whole  list  of  objectives  ready  to  be  ticked  off  in  the  coming  year,  however  on  a  level  of   self  development   I   know   I   stand   to  learn   a   lot   about   teamwork   and   efficiency.  GħSL   has   already   changed   so   much   as   an  organisation,   and   I   can   only   hope   we’ll  continue   to   make   it   more   accessible   to  future  students.
