Queer
The Queer Office is looking forward to making 2011 bigger and better than ever for the portfolio and the LSS!
As Queer Officers, we see our role as two-fold. Firstly, we aim to provide an inclusive, supportive, visible and, most importantly, fun queer space within the law school community. An important part of achieving this is both queer and queer friendly events, both social and informative. Secondly, we are the queer representatives on the LSS committee, providing a voice for queer students and issues.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or simply want a chat, drop by the LSS office, email us, or say hi if you see us around the building. And keep an eye out for queer events in the LSS notices!

Whether it is a discrimination, bullying, personal problem or that you just need some advice your first point of contact should be the law faculty representatives or alternatively the student union queer officers.
